Library Updates for the End of the School Year
As the end of the school year approaches, here are a couple of reminders regarding library check out and materials.
The last day for students to check out books at the Highview Library is Friday, May 16th.
All library materials are due back by Thursday, May 22nd before the long weekend.
This allows us time to collect missing materials before we head into summer.
Books can be dropped off in the library or the blue book drop outside of the school entrance.
Questions? Feel free to contact us in the Learning Center!
