Receiving Textbooks:

In general, all students are issued the necessary textbooks at the beginning of the school year or upon registration into Camp Creek Middle School. In rare cases, a teacher might decide to keep a classroom set of books for the comfort and convenience of the students. In these instances, a student may not receive a textbook for that class.

If a mistake is made and a student does not receive the required textbooks, it is the responsibility of the student to contact the textbook administrator and remedy the situation as soon as possible.

Textbook Responsibility:

Textbooks are the responsibility of the student to whom they are issued and we strongly advise that the student keeps them in their locker or on their person at all times. All books are individually numbered and are the responsibility of the student who receives them. Lending and leaving books unattended, even for a short time, has created a lot of headaches for the student who never receives it back or recovers their book having to pay for the damage.

If a student loses or damages a textbook, it is the student's responsibility to resolve the situation with the textbook coordinator as soon as possible.

Damaged Textbooks:

It is understood that during the course of use a textbook will show signs of normal wear and tear: even a well kept book will have rough corners. What constitutes normal wear and tear is up to the discretion of the textbook coordinator in consultation with the administration. The minimum charge for damaged books is $5.00 and will increase depending on the nature and extent of the damage.  Graffiti, gang signs and water damage automatically make a book unusable and the  student will be charged full replacement cost. A damage fine will be assessed against a student observed abusing a book. 

If a student has been issued a textbook with unacceptable damage, a replacement book will be issued if one is available. It is the student's responsibility to notify the textbook coordinator of all damage to a textbook to avoid being charged for the damage. Failure to notify the textbook coordinator within a week of issue will result in the student assuming responsibility for damages.

Return of Textbooks:

All textbooks issued to a student must be returned in acceptable condition before the end of the school year or upon withdrawal of the student from Camp Creek Middle School. Before a report card will be issued or documentation sent to another school, all missing or damaged texts must be paid for.
