Textbooks     Some textbooks are issued to students on free loan from the state. Normally these books are
expected to last five years. It will be necessary to charge a fee if books are lost or damaged beyond normal wear. We encourage you to help your child protect the textbooks assigned to him/her.
Textbooks are used as a resource to the curriculum and are not always issued to every student. If
your child is given an assignment that requires a book, the teacher will allow him/her to bring the book home. Competencies from the NC Standard Course of Study determine the curriculum rather than the textbook. Monies are used to purchase other resource materials as well as textbooks. This decision is made from an instructional basis rather than lack of money to purchase a textbook for every child in every subject area.   Back
