Welcome to a new school year at Rivera Elementary School!
Please encourage your child to adhere to the following guidelines:
- Always handle library books with clean hands and be careful when turning the pages so they don't tear.
- Keep your book in your backpack when it isn't being read.
- Always keep library books out of reach of pets, toddlers, and away from food or drinks.
- Return or renew your books on time.
As a parent, you can also help by:
- With younger students, read the book with your child. Talk about the pictures and words. Enjoy the book together! For older students, parents should encourage their children to read for 20 minutes each night.
- Every week (for grades K-2) and every two weeks (for grades 3-5) have your child return the book to exchange it for a different library book. Students may also exchange library books during the open library time any day of the week.
- If an accident occurs and a book does get damaged, please do not try to repair the book yourself. Send it back to school with a note and I will do everything possible to fix it so you do not have to pay to replace the book. If a book cannot be repaired or becomes lost, we ask you to pay to replace the book.
