NOTES FROM THE BOOKROOM
If you lose your ID card, you FIRST go to the Student Bank & pay $5 AND THEN bring the
receipt to the Bookroom to get your card reprinted.
There is approximately $3,000 worth of "lost" books in the Bookroom. If you've "misplaced" a
book, come to see if it is one of them!
DO NOT leave your books in your classrooms. Your teachers will NOT be responsible for them
if they disappear!
Ditch those stretchy cloth bookcovers for environmentally friendly paper bookcovers!!! The
Bookroom has a plentiful supply of brown paper bags & other paper wrappers.
