Students may renew books in person. Students may be restricted from renewing books if they have overdue items or if the book is reserved for another patron.

OVERDUE items :

Students may not check out with overdue items without communicating with Mrs. Ricarte 

Students may not check out if they have lost or damaged books awaiting payment or replacement.

Lost/overdue and damaged notices will be sent home on a regular basis. Please know that payment needs to be in exact change or with a personal check (payable to "Gregory Heights"). 

A refund is given if the lost book is returned (in good condition) before the end of the current school year.

In June, students with unpaid or unresolved book fines will not receive their final report card and their fines will be entered into the district database.
