Library

During this school year, your student may be checking out books for the first time and that is so exciting for them! Checking out books is a privilege and with privilege comes responsibility. Checking out books is a great way to teach your student to be responsible.

Students are able to keep a books for 1 week. If your student needs more time they can bring the book to the library and renew it. All library books belong to Rea Elementary and must come to school with the student daily. Books should not be left at home. Any lost or damaged books is the students responsibility. 

Kinder through First grade may check out 1 book at a time, while Second grade through Sixth grade may check out 2!
