It’s that time of year again when we need ALL PAST DUE books to be returned to the library as soon as possible.
 
SENIORS:  We have reached out several times via email and met with students individually to discuss their return of the items and the required fee if the items are not found.  The deadline for Seniors to clear their accounts of anything past due is Friday, Apr 24. Failure to resolve past-due items or outstanding fees may result in restricted participation in senior activities, including Prom, Senior Awards, Senior Sunset, and Grad Night.
 
For all other grades, please turn in all past due books this school year to avoid having your schedule withheld on Don’s Day until your account is cleared.
 
Please make a payment to the Acalanes webstore or bring cash to the library should your book(s) be lost or damaged. You can email me at jbacon@auhsdschools.org or find me in the library should you have any questions or need support with your payment.
 
Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Kind regards,

Jess Bacon Library Media Technician & Neku Pogue, Associate Principal
