WES Library Media Mission

We LOVE Volunteers! If you are interested in helping in the Media Center, please contact our Media Staff!


Library and Resource Materials Fines
Per CCPS policies, students are responsible for CCPS property that is allocated to them for the school year.  If damage or loss occurs to Media materials (books, laptops, chargers) while in the student's possession, a fine will be assessed and assigned relevant to the specific damage/loss.  The fine will be applied to your child's account and can be paid in your My School Bucks account.  Please pay these fines promptly.  For more information regarding circulation of library and technology materials, see below.
 
Book Checkout
K-5th students may choose to take books home for the duration of their loan period.
REMINDER! The BEST place for school library books is your child's backpack or desk/locker!
Students may visit us to return & borrow materials throughout the school day!

Student Laptop Information
All WES students are allocated a Dell laptop and charger, purchased by CCPS and on loan, until they leave the system. In accordance with CCPS policies, families are financially responsible for damages/loss (accidental or intentional), for all grade levels.  Laptops are essential to daily instruction, so please continue to review laptop policies with your child.  Allocated laptops are solely for instructional use. Non-CCPS household members may not utilize CCPS laptops. Each CCPS student in the household must use their own allocated laptop.
 
**PLEASE NOTE**
  • In the event that an allocated laptop and/or charger is left at home or out for repair, a loaner will be checked out from the Media Center to your child.  CCPS laptop/charger policies apply to the loaner for the duration of the loan period. 
  • If the parent/guardian of a 3rd-5th grade student has signed a Student Laptop Agreement for their child to transport an allocated laptop to and from school, the approval applies to a loaner laptop/charger.
