Check-Out Policy
Kindergarten - Students check out one book from the library each week that remains in their classroom. This gives them practice in selecting a book, learning the check-out process, and demonstrating good stewardship of the books. And, they will always have the book to return on their library day so that they will be able to get a new one.
First Grade - During the first six weeks of school, students can check out one book and can choose to take it home. Some students will choose to leave their library book in their book box to read in the classroom. If they choose to take it home, I talk to them about where they might keep it at home so that they can remember to return it. After the first six weeks of school, students may have two books checked out. It is easiest if they return books on their designated library day but we always try to give them additional opportunities to visit the library such as before morning Crew Meeting, or during "WIN" time, as schedules permit.
Second Grade - Students may check out two books from the beginning of the year. Some students will choose to leave their library books in their book box to read in the classroom. It is easiest if they return books on their designated library day but we always try to give them additional opportunities to visit the library such as before Crew Meeting, or during "WIN" time, as our schedules permit.

Book Care Reminders - Please review with your student
1. First and Second Graders may take their books home or choose to leave them in the classroom.
2. Ask your student about their books and read them together.
3. If your student carries a water bottle in their backpack, make sure the lid is tightly closed.
4. If your student attends an after school program or rides the yellow bus, they should keep their library books in their backpack until they get home. I'm happy that they are excited to read the library books, however many books are lost this way!
5. Speak with your student about a safe place to keep the books in your house and especially if you have lots of other books. Ours always have a hard cover and a CSD or Winnona Park Elementary bar code on the back.

Lost Books
I send email notices regularly so that you can see what books your student currently has checked out. Books are typically checked out for one to weeks at a time. After that, I suggest looking for the book both in the classroom and at home. We charge a flat $10 fee for lost which can be paid in cash or check made out to Winnona Park Elementary School. If you have any questions or concerns about lost books, please do not hesitate to email me at [email protected].
