LIBRARY The library is available to most students during the school day. Students can use the library for school work or for personal interest since there are tables for reading or writing, and areas for looking at or listening to audio-visual materials. The key to finding all these materials is the computerized card catalog in the library because it explains what the library has and where it is located. We have a self- help policy. Use the call numbers on the catalog to find the books or materials. If confused, ask the librarian for assistance. Students in kindergarten and first grade are allowed to borrow one book at a time and second grade students are allowed to borrow two. The loan period is one week and renewals are allowed. A student who signs out any book(s) is responsible for returning it to the library. Failure to return library books within a week after the due date will result in loss of library privileges. It is the parent's/guardian's responsibility to locate or pay for a child's lost books. Check out books at the desk. The librarian will assist students with the computer checkout. However, reference books and books on reserve by one's teacher(s) can be used only in the library. Books can be renewed again if a student has not finished reading them. Upon completion of reading the book, return it in the Book Return Box located at the main desk. Please make an effort to return borrowed materials as soon as possible. OTHER PROGRAMS During each school year, a different set of activities is offered to students. This is a time after school when students are able to explore new interests. Some of the activities will teach useful or creative skills,others are competitive, exciting or just plain fun. These enrichment programs can help students develop positive interests and activities for leisure time. They also offer a natural outlet for satisfying students'curiosity and talents. Enrichment programs are designed to enhance life skills and esthetic appreciation. Some of the activities that may be offered are art, physical education, health, music, library skills and science. A parent/guardian note must be sent to the teacher if a child is attending any after- school function. After-School Enrichment Sponsored by the Mashpee Leisure Services Department/Not the KC Coombs School (KCC is this program's location) Leisure Services will be conducting many of the after-school offerings for the Mashpee Public Schools. Minimal fees may be required for these programs. Class times will be determined by the dismissal time of the grade levels involved. Parents must arrange to pick up students at the end of the class time since bus service is not provided. After-school enrichment programs may include art, music, drama, sports skills, chess, computers, math, seasonal sports, etc. 47
