Parents--Does Your Child Have a Lost Media Center Book?

Picture
On May 23, we ask that all students turn in all but one of their media center books. Students may keep one book at a time until June 1, when all books are due. Please start helping your student locate those overdue books. 

Every week, students receive an email with a list of their overdue books. We don't charge any fines for overdue books but, if a book can't be located, it must be paid for by the end of the school year. Your student can bring a check or cash (exact change) to the media center, or you can pay for the book through the WCPSS Online Payments feature. Please let us know if you have any questions.
