Textbook Return Procedures: 

Students need to bring their textbook to the final exam for that class.  They must hand the textbook directly to the proctor for their exam.  If a student forgets his textbook on the day of the exam, he/she must bring the textbook directly to their teacher—NO EXCEPTIONS.  Students may not leave a textbook with Patty or with any other school employee other than that actual teacher of that course.  Please be aware that students will not receive their final report card if textbooks are not turned in.  If a textbook is lost, the book must be paid for before the final report card will be mailed.
