  • All students, Kindergarten through 8th: Students with overdue books may not check out another book until their account is clear.  To clear an account, students may make a donation of the replacement cost of the book or replace the book.

  • Parents are asked to help locate “lost” books as quickly as possible to reinstate student library privileges.  If the book cannot be found, we ask that donations of money or replacement books be made, allowing students to continue to check out books.

  • Damaged books:  All library books should be treated with care.  Damage fees up to the replacement cost of the book may be charged for any deliberate damage.

• Technology
  Student devices will be checked out in August. Devices must be returned on the date requested at the end of the school year, in good working condition, along with the assigned Apple charger and cable.  Aftermarket items will not be accepted. Students may submit a student repair ticket through the Student Repair Form icon on their school iPad. School iPads are property of the Fullerton School District and are intended for educational use. Improper use of school technology may result in loss of privileges. All iPads are meant to be used by the student to whom the iPad was assigned to.
