Library

 As we continually strive to enhance   communication between Mount Vernon City   Schools and our valued parents, we would like to bring to your attention some important updates regarding our library book check-out procedures.

Currently, we allow students to select books of interest from their building library.  Once a book is checked out, parents are notified by email of their child's selection including Title and Author.  If you feel comfortable with the current checkout procedures that we have used for many years then you don't need to do anything.

We recognize that there may be some Parents/Guardians who would like to be notified and approve their child's selection before checking out a book.  We believe we can accommodate your wishes by completing the permission notification form #1 attached to this email and located on the district website.

Additionally, we recognize that some students often demonstrate more mature reading abilities and interests. If you believe your child fits into this category, as a Parent/Guardian you can grant permission to allow your child the opportunity to check out books that may be more mature in terms of interest and reading abilities.  We believe we can accommodate your wishes by completing the permission notification form #2 attached to this email and located on the district website.

Please review and use these forms:

Form 1: Granting permission for notifications of books your child checks out from your child's school library.

Form 2: Granting permission to check out books from other school libraries that may be above their grade level.

Return the completed form(s) to your school office.  Your cooperation is invaluable in tailoring our resources to meet individual student needs and your responses will be handled confidentially.
