Media Center
Welcome to the Media Center at Victoria Elementary
Each week during media class your child will have an opportunity to check out books. Students are welcome to come to the media center on a individual basis any time during the week when they have their teacher's permission. All books are due back in the media center the day before media class to allow time for processing.
Book Checkout :
- Kindergarten - 1 book
- First Grade - 2 books
- Second Grade - 2 books
- Third Grade - 3 books
- Fourth Grade -3 books
- Fifth Grade - 3 books
Check out period is 2 weeks.
Students who need more time to complete a book may renew it during their media time. The book does not need to be returned to be renewed. Students just need to request that their book be renewed when going through the check out line.
Book return: To make book return easy, a book drop box is located inside the media center. Books may be put there at any time during the school day. Classroom teachers also have a bin in their classroom where students place books that need to be returned to the media center.
Overdue books
We do not charge fines for overdue books. Students with an overdue book are not allowed to checkout another book until the overdue item has been returned. Overdue notices will be sent at least once a trimester. We do our best to properly check in books. If your child receives an overdue notice, and believes the book has been returned, please have your child ask Mrs. Boraas to check the shelves again. Parents should also feel free to call or email me to check the library shelf for the missing book. You can always verify the books your child has checked out by using your child's user name and password to Destiny Quest or by checking Parent Portal.
Lost & Damaged Books
Students who have lost or damaged a book will be expected to pay the replacement cost of the item. Since most of our books are special library bound books we ask that you do not purchase a replacement copy since trade bindings do not hold up to library use. Checks for the replacement cost can be made payable to VES and brought to the media center or the school office.
