Dear Twelve Bridges families,
I hope you all enjoyed your three day weekend!
This week, we will begin checking out books to students from the library. Below, Ms. Bremner has described the process to access the school's library collection online and request books.
Please see below for a webinar provided by the district to help support your family during distance learning.
Also, just a quick reminder to make sure everyone is wearing appropriate clothing as we continue in a distance learning format. Depending on the view your student is using in Google Meet, you may not see yourself or your student on the screen, but indeed, you can be seen. If the camera is on, we can see you.
Thanks for your support!
Take care and be safe,
Will Middleton

Students will place a "Hold" on the books they would like to check out. Please note: The system will not allow the student to delete a hold. "Hold" should not be clicked until they are certain that it is the book they'd like to check out. You must contact Ms. Bremner to delete a hold.
Ms. Bremner will pull the books and check them out for the student.
Your books will be ready for pickup THE FOLLOWING SCHOOL DAY after 9 a.m.
Pick up your books from the book cart in the front office by 3:30 p.m.
Your books will have your name on them.
If your books are not picked up within two school days, they will be returned to the library and made available for another student to check out.
Return your books to the "Return Box" on the book cart in the front office.
ALL books must be returned before additional books can be borrowed.
If you place a "Hold" on a book and currently have an overdue library book or fine, your order will not be filled.
Overdue notices and/or fines will be sent via email.
If you have any difficulty logging on or have any questions, please email Ms. Bremner at dbremner@wpusd.org.
