Media Circulation Procedures

Kindergarten and Grade 1: one book/one week

Grades 2-5: two books/two weeks

All students receive weekly access to the media center for self-selection of independent reading materials. Students will visit the media center with their class during their literacy instructional time. Our media center hours are from 7:30 AM - 3:15 PM each school day. 

Overdue notices are generated and distributed to parents throughout the year. Student media overdues are accessible in the Assessit media catalog, which can be accessed from the eCLASS student portal. Once the catalog opens, students can click their name in the top right-hand corner and then select the option to view their borrowing details. Students are expected to keep their media accounts current.     

GCPS policy states that lost or damaged book issues must be resolved before circulation privileges can be restored. The book fine for a lost or damaged book is $15.00. Fines can be paid on MyPaymentsPlus this school year. Fines will appear in the fee section of MyPaymentsPlus. If the book is found after the fine has been paid, a refund request will be submitted to the bookkeeper. 

Fines are assessed based on the severity of the damage to the book. Most of our issues are caused by water bottle spills, pets, and younger siblings. Thanks for your support in helping our students learn proper book care. Please contact the media staff if you have any questions about circulation procedures.
