Checking Out Books
* Classes have a designated day (Monday-Thursday) to visit the Library. Books are due on that day every week. ALL books must be returned in order to check out again. Books are returned the morning they are due (see below for schedule). Each classroom has a library book crate for returning books. Books may be renewed by taking them directly to the library for recheck. (Students can do that when their class goes to library.)
* Pre-Kindergarten will begin checking out books during the spring semester.
* Kindergarten may check out 1 book.
* 1st-3rd grades may check out 2 books.
* 4th grade may check out 2 books (Three books may be checked out with their "Wolverine Book" pass.)

Accelerated Reader (AR)
* AR is a program where students read books on their reading level. A quiz is taken on the computer, and points are earned, depending on the number of questions answered correctly.
* Each student is given a goal of a certain amount of points to earn. When the goal is met, the student receives recognition by having a star placed on our AR wall (outside the Library). The student then works on their next goal.
* Students meeting certain criteria can attend the end-of-year A.R. Celebration.
K = 10 passed quizzes 1st = 15 passed quizzes 2nd = 20 passed quizzes 3rd = 25 passed quizzes 4th = 30 passed quizzes
All students must maintain an 85% average.

|
When can A.R. Quizzes be taken?
* In the Library throughout the day, with teacher's permission.
* Parents may help their child take an AR quiz in the Library in the mornings from 7:45-8:15.
* Students may take quizzes in their classrooms.
