Dear Hildebrandt Students, Parents/Guardians, This year new math and science resources have been adopted for the district, and the student textbooks that will be issued for these courses are consumable, meaning that they are not tracked by district bar codes, and do not need to be returned at the end of the year. As a result of this new adoption, the only student textbooks available for check out are the following: 6th grade social studies, foreign language, ELA, and Algebra. Therefore, textbook checkout procedure will be modified for the 2014-2015 school year. The textbook distribution schedule is as follows: 1st week of school: Math (excluding Algebra) and science teachers will distribute consumable textbooks to each student for use. 2nd week of school: All students will receive textbook permission letters from their ELA, foreign language, and social studies (6th grade only) teachers to be taken home and signed by a parent or guardian. If you choose to check out a book for any of the aforementioned subjects, the book becomes your financial responsibility if lost or damaged. 3rd week of school (September 9-11): Textbooks will be issued to students through their ELA, social studies (6th grade), and foreign language classes. Students may only be issued a textbook if they bring their signed parent permission letter(s) to school on the correct distribution day. The signed letter will act as your acknowledgement that these books must be returned to campus in good condition at the end of the year, or the whole cost of the book will need to be paid. No textbooks will be distributed on the class distribution days without a signed parent permission letter. All textbook distribution is optional, and students are encouraged to ask their teachers to recommend the need for checking out a book as class sets are kept in every classroom. Also, all textbooks are available online in full with supplemental features. The online log in information for students will be issued by teachers. Also, please be reassured that even though there is a scheduled distribution, if at any time throughout the year it is determined that a hard copy of a textbook is required, it can always be checked out through the assistance principal’s office by calling 832-249-5053 to set up an appointment. Also, please keep in mind that the only books issued by the school are the ones mentioned above.
