Library Contract for 5th Grade
Your child will be able to check-out books from the library. He/she is able to check-out 2 book(s) at a time.
- We will treat the book(s) with care and respect, and will find a safe place to keep the book(s) until it is returned to the library (backpack).
- My child will read one of the books chosen by him/her everyday from Monday thru Thursday for 20 minutes and complete any assignments that go along with the book.
- My child will return the book(s) on time. If my child forgets to bring any books on Library daytwice during the 5th grade school year my child will no longer be allowed to check-out books from the library. Instead, other arrangements will need to be made with the teacher in order to complete work assignments that will be assigned to accompany the book that was chosen to read.
- Library Day will be announced and written in agenda prior to our visit.
- While the student has a book(s) checked-out no other books will be able to checked-out by that student until it is turned in.
- IF the book is damaged or lost, we (parent or guardian) will pay for the book replacement and student will lose library privileges for the year.
PS Only library books will be allowed to participate in the Pizza Hut Book It Reading incentive program that I will be using (coming soon) so don’t lose your library privileges!!
