    Circulation

    The Media Center strives to be an essential part of the instructional program and the hub of the school. We areassisting students and staff in becoming effective 21st Century users of ideas and information while creatinglife-long learners and lovers of reading. The media center operates on a fixed schedule. Students come during their regular scheduled class time and are permitted to come throughout the day to exchange their books once they have finished reading and to utilize the media center at the convenience of the classroom teacher. Teachers and students are encouraged to check out materials as needed for personal or classroom use. Students are aware that they are allowed to take media center books home.

    Listed below are the amounts of books students are allowed to check out each week.

    GRADE NUMBER OF BOOKS
         5K        1 book
    1st-3rd       2 books
    4th-5th       3 books

    Books are due weekly and may be returned before the due date if needed. If time beyond the due date is needed, books can be renewed. It is a student's responsibility to keep up with and take care of the book(s) they borrow from the media center. It is in good faith that we have loaned them the books in the hope that they will return them the same. There are no overdue fines when books are returned late. However, when a student returns a book that is damaged or has lost it, he or she will have to pay to replace it.

    *If students already have overdue books from the 21/22 school term, they may take home a withdrawn book until book(s) or fine paid. JES wants all students to have an opportunity to enjoy reading!
