Lost Book Policies
If your student loses his or her book, he or she should:
I) Immediately bring her student ID to the library or textbook window so we can scan it and see if the book has already been recovered and turned back into the textbook room.
II) Check the attendance office and all classrooms to see if the book is there.
III) If the book is no where to be found, your student has three choices (OPTION "C" IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR CLASS NOVELS THAT HAVE BEEN LOST. CHECK WITH THE TEXTBOOK CLERK TO SEE IF OPTION "C" IS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR BOOK BEFORE MOVING FORWARD WITH ORDERING ONLINE):
A) Full Payment: Pay for the book and get a replacement right away. If your book is recovered, you will get your money back minus a service charge.
B) Textbook Contract: Obtain a Textbook Contract Form from the textbook clerk, come up with a payment plan, and bring it back signed by the student and you, the parent or guardian, along with the first payment. As soon as the form is signed and the initial payment is made, a replacement book will be issued.
C) Replacement option: Use our textbook inventory spreadsheet to find the correct ISBN for the book and you may try to find a replacement online. You will need to pay $5.00 for the barcode, but all other replacement costs will be waived. Please see warnings regarding replacement books below:

WARNING:
- We do not accept damaged replacements or replacements with markings of other schools.
- The replacements must be in "like new" condition and cannot have writing, damage, or other school stamps or barcodes.
- We will do our best to accept suitable replacements, but we reserve the right to refuse replacements based on other criteria as well.
- You are purchasing replacement books at your own risk and you accept full financial responsibility for the replacement if we find that it is unacceptable for our collection.
- The purchase of a replacement book does not guarantee that we will accept it for our collection.
- Your debt for your textbook is not forgiven until we have had a chance to inspect the replacement book and have deemed it acceptable for our textbook collection.
- If the replacement book turns out to be unacceptable, then a payment plan/textbook contract will need to be arranged to pay for the original book. We can discuss options if this should happen.
- If you buy a replacement book and then your original book is found, you will NOT get a refund for the replacement book you purchased. There are NO REFUNDS for the replacement option.
