​Instructional Supplies / Textbooks / Technology 

Parents/Guardians will be given a list of basic supplies needed for the school year.  Additional supplies may be required during the school year depending on individual classes. Efforts will be made to keep these items to a minimum.

Textbooks are purchased by the school.  Students are responsible for the care and condition of all books given to them for the duration of the school year.  Parents/Guardians will be expected to cover the cost of replacement for books or school's technology that is damaged due to student negligence.  The school does have insurance that covers accidental damage to the school's technology equipment.

 Library

Each class has one library period per week. Students may use the library for reference work at other than scheduled times when the librarian is present. A late fine of 25 cents per school day will be charged for all magazines and books not returned on the due date. Money from fines will be used to further update our library collection. Replacement cost for lost or damaged books will be determined by the librarian.

Our library has the Accelerated Reader Program which encourages the students to read. This program also has a reading assessment component, which the librarian sends to the classroom teacher for additional assessment information on each student. ​​​
