Rules

  • The Sonoran Foothills LMC collection consists of more than 10,000 items, available to students, staff and parents. Additionally, the LMC has 8 computers with Gogole products and access to the Internet. A Smartboard is available for use by staff members. The LMC is open daily from 8:00 AM for staff members and 8:30 AM for students. The LMC closes at 4:00 PM daily.

    Circulation
    Children from kindergarten through the 6th grade may check out books as follows:
    • Kindergarten - 1 book for 1 week
    • 1st Grade - 1 book for 1 week
    • 2nd Grade - 2 books for 2 weeks
    • 3rd - 6th Grades - 2 books for 2 weeks
     
    Books may be renewed once if there are no holds on the title. Students are required to renew the book on the due date. Library privileges are suspended until an overdue book is returned, renewed or paid for if lost or damaged.

    It is suggested to students that books be kept in backpacks when not being read. This will allow students to have their books when it’s their day to visit the LMC and to protect them from harm. Please be mindful of water bottles placed in backpacks. This can quickly ruin books! Always use the outside holders.

    Please remember…, students are responsible for the books they check out. If a book is damaged or lost, the student will be asked to pay for the book. Until the book is paid for or returned, a student’s check out privileges are suspended. The care of books helps maintain our library collection for all of our students.

    Finally, if parents would like to limit the number of books their child can check out they may do so by contacting Carey Crabbs, Library Media Center Clerk, at 623-445-8413 or via e-mail.

    Accessing the Collection and Student Account from Home
    Students and parents can access the Sonoran Foothills collection from home by visiting Destiny. In addition to checking the availability of books and creating lists, students and parents can review a student’s account, including due dates of books on loan, overdue materials, and holds. Parents and students may log in via the button along the top right. Log in is the student's Novell credentials.

    Internet Usage
    Computers are available for student use during regularly scheduled class visits as well as for students on passes. They may be used for assigned class work, research, and testing. Students and parents/guardians must read and understand the Internet & E-Mail User Agreement and both must sign the Directory, Internet & E-mail User Agreement before students are allowed to use the computers. Computers are monitored and privileges can be canceled for violations of this agreement. The District offers students space on the Google Drive to save school projects and can be accessed from anywhere.
