STUDENT INFO
· Yearbook Distribution is going on NOW. Please pick up your yearbook at the Student Store during Nutrition or Lunch. Bring your student ID to pick up. Not sure you purchased one? There will be a list to check for your name. Those who wish to purchase may do so at snack or lunch for $125 CASH ONLY.
· Textbook Returns: You can start returning textbooks at your convenience! If you are no longer using them, check books in at the library (Room 18) so it's off your record. You can also come by and take care of any lost or damaged items now. The last day for SENIORS to return items is June 7. Last day to return textbooks for all other students is June 13. If you have any books out or overdue after that date, you will be INELIGIBLE TO REGISTER in August.
Please note Textbook Policy regarding Refunds: Any lost books from this school year will result in a replacement fine. There will be NO REFUNDS issued in August for books lost THIS school year. We will have already purchased replacements over the summer and be unable to refund.
Below are several things that may help you when returning books:
1. If you have outstanding fines, you may pay now with a CHECK. After 5/31, CASH ONLY will be accepted.
2. Save time standing at the circulation desk and remove post-its before bringing book in.
3. To avoid long lines, do not return your book the last day of finals BETWEEN tests. This is always one of our busiest times. START RETURNING BOOKS NOW instead.
4. Watch for MCHS Library emails to see what items you have checked out, due date, and if you have fines.
5. If you have questions about your account, see Mrs. Sullivan in Room 18 soon. She’s happy to help.
