Stock up on Summer Reading!
All returning students can stock up on Summer Reading from Hillsboro's library! Stop by this week to load up on a series or favorite genre so that you will have a book all summer long. Ask for SUMMER CHECKOUT EXTENSION and we will extend your due date till August!
Don't forget, you can use your student ID to access books from the Public Library all summer long!
End of the Year!
What to do with Laptops & Library Books!
Here is what you need to know to be ready for the end of the school year!
The library checks in MNPS Laptops & Library Books!
We do not check-in Textbooks.
9th-11th Grade
- May 3rd Last Day for Limitless Holds
- May 8th Last Day for Limitless Delivery
May 13: MNPS and Limitless Library Items are due.
Extended Summer Request! You can request a summer extension on all Hillsboro Books! If you are a student in good standing (no lost or overdue books) you can request up to 20 books for summer reading. See Mrs. Claassen or Mrs. Hutchinson for help on extending due dates.
Seniors!!!!
- To avoid fees added to your account, you will need to have all books & laptops turned in by Friday 5/10
- You can check-in with me now to make sure all fees are cleared on your account.
Is the library closed?
Never!
- The catalog is 24/7, so you can always request books there.
- Email me for help, I will respond as soon as possible.
- If there is testing in the library, I will always make sure to notify staff & students. If you can make a hall pass to the library, then you can come to the library.
- I typically set up a help desk outside of library when the room is closed.
Here to Help, is my favorite thing to do at Hillsboro! Be it books, research, study, or presentations.
Hall Passes to Library
As a reminder, we only accept Hall Pass that have been sent electronically. If you do not have an electronic hall pass sent, you will not be permitted in the library. All paper passes from Substitute teachers will be sent back.
- "We have a sub that doesn't know how to send hall passes": Create a hall pass on your phone/laptop and your academy office can approve the pass as long as your attendance has been confirmed.
- "My Teacher just sent me real quick": Doesn't matter, Administration wants all students to have a hall pass to leave the room. Create a hall pass on your phone/laptop and your teacher can approve it quickly.
Summer Reading
Summer Reading 2024
We will be using Beanstack for Summer Reading this year! This year, all grades will record how much they have read over the summer. As we prepare for Summer Reading, I would suggest that you become familiar with Beanstack Reading Platform. This is the Summer Reading platform that Nashville Public Library uses, and we will be using it too! Go ahead and log into Beanstack through your Classlink account and take a look!
Summer Reading completers will earn Burro Incentive Points for the Burro Incentive Shop. Stay tuned for details on how much reading and directions on accessing Beanstack.
More details on Summer Reading to coming soon!
Beanstack!
Stop by the library and let me show you how this works! I am working on implementing this next year and I am looking for students who will volunteer logging reading using Beanstack in April & May! Beanstack is accessible through Classlink & Schoology. You can email me for more details! Joyce.Claassen@mnps.org (there will be candy and treats for all involved!)
BOOK DRIVE!
Burrolibrary is a collection point for a student who is collecting books for Little Libraries around Nashville. Drop off gently used books for all ages at the library donation bin by the front door. For more information email Margaret Nelson .
Tech Center
The Tech Center will be closed until further notice. Ms. Hutchinson and I will be assisting in all tech needs here in the library. Please remember to have a hall pass to the library for tech assistance.
Reminder for all Staff & Students, anytime you find a laptop, please return to the library so that we can check and make sure that it isn't a missing laptop.

How to Check your Library Account
How to report Email Spam
Don't click that link!
We have had an uptick of students reporting phishing or spam emails. Be aware of any email that is saying you need to click a link to "verify" an account. Even if it is sent by a friend. Your friend may have just been hacked and you will be compromising your account if you click that link. Other common emails lines might include?
Most popular phishing and spam examples of 2022
- Verify your Apple iCloud ID or Microsoft account. These fake emails from Apple or Microsoft ask you to verify your account because it was put on hold for various reasons. But it’s a phishing attempt. ...
- You’ve won! ...
- Missing information ...
- Your online account has been locked ...
- Claim your gift card ...
- Suspicious activity with your bank account ...
- You have a refund coming ...
When in Doubt, don't click it.
Don't click the link!
Don't respond!
Instead report at as phishing attempt. If you know the person that may have sent the email, check with them to see if they have been hacked.
Instructions to report a Phishing or Spam attempt can be found here How To Report a Phishing E-Mail (sharepoint.com)

Lost Laptops
LAPTOPS LOST, FOUND, LOANERS, & FEES!
EMAIL FROM LAST WEEK! MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF STEPS!
Students & Staff,
We have multiple students missing laptops. A lost laptop will cost the student $200. Please make sure that students do not leave laptops behind. Students who need to store a laptop during lunch should get a locker to store it in. LOCKER ASSIGNMENTS are free, and you can get one assigned to you in the Freshman Academy.
FOUND LAPTOP
If you find a laptop, bring to the TECH CENTER ASAP. Whoever is the last person to sign in on it, does not mean that is who the laptop belongs to. Please do not guess, just bring to the TECH CENTER ASAP.
LOST LAPTOP
If you have lost a laptop, please email (from your phone) Lorenzo.Beasley@mnps.org in the Tech Center to ask if your laptop was turned in.
LOANER LAPTOPS
If you have borrowed a laptop from the TECH CENTER this year and you have not turned it in, you will be charged $200 on your school account. If you have the laptop, please return to the TECH CENTER and make sure that it is checked in and cleared from your account.
FEES for DAMAGED & LOST ITEMS: This is set by MNPS and not by Hillsboro. It is the student's responsibility to manage MNPS issued devices.
