Families,
We are currently working on wrapping up our projects in library! Look forward to many projects coming home, as well as continuing to ask students what digital projects and products they have produced in library!
Since we are beginning to approach the end of the year, please start marking down these important days for your calendar. These dates allow the library to begin winding down for the year, as well as continuing to update our book catalogue. Here are those important dates:
Monday, April 17, 2017 = Students will begin checking out only 1 book
Monday, May 1, 2017 = Final Check-Out Day for Books
Monday, May 8, 2017 = All Books Returned / Fines Assessed for all Overdue Books
Friday, May 12, 2017 = Overdue Book Fees Due
Please note that if your child returns any overdue books that you will no longer be charged the overdue fee for the library. Once a fee is paid, there will be no refunds. If you're in doubt, please bring the book to the library, and Mr. Wilson will assist with the book.
If you have any questions about overdue books, reports will be following your child home shortly.
If you have any further library questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail Mr. Wilson at RyanWilson@smsd.org!
