TEXTBOOKS

Hardbound textbooks belong to the school and are provided to the students for their use during the school year. Textbooks are to be kept clean and handled carefully. All textbooks must be adequately and securely covered. A discipline warning may be issued for the improper care and use of a textbook, including covering. Students are assigned numbered texts, and if the book assigned to the student is damaged or missing during the year or at the end of the school year, the student will be charged the full replacement cost of that book. Students are required to have a sturdy book bag for their books. Book bags or backpacks on wheels are not permitted, as they are a danger on the stairways. If a backpack with wheels is medically necessary, a doctor’s note is required.
