*IMPORTANT Textbook Tips & Reminders

  1. As soon as you receive your textbook(s)- WRITE your full name in INK on the inside cover and the school year. Please write your name in all your workbooks also.
  2. Textbooks are checked out in the beginning of every school year and collected at the end.  YOU are responsible to return your textbooks on the specified date. Consumables, (or workbooks with no SJCSD barcode on them) do NOT need to be returned.  If you need clarification on a book, please ask media staff.
  3. Make a note of each textbook and its barcode number (it will be on the front or the spine of the book).
  4. DO NOT share your textbooks and DO NOT leave them in your teachers’ classrooms, unless directed to.
  5. If you use a locker, PLEASE keep track of your textbooks.
  6. YOU are financially responsible for any loss or damages to your textbooks. Any fees/fines you incur for textbooks will be charged to your account and will stay on your account through Senior year if not paid or reconciled.  This WILL impact schoolwide privileges, activities, and events. Please check with media staff EVERY year about items you may have overdue.
  7. Remember – each one of these textbooks were checked out to YOU. You are responsible for making sure they are returned in good condition and on time at the end of the school year.
