Welcome to Guidance
Periodically I will put links on my site that are relevant to situations at Hill and Plain. There are many kids going through many situations. If your child is having a difficult time, please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your concerns. I am here to help make your child’s day go smoothly in conjunction with his/her teacher.

Library Schedule
Our library schedule is a fixed schedule. Students in all grades come to the Media Center every 4 school days for a 40 minute class period. Excel students come for 30 minutes.
Circulation:
Kindergarten and Grade 1:
Students may select one book each visit. They may renew the book as many times as needed. If it is an especially popular title, the book may not be renewed so that others may have a chance to check out the book. Students may check out additional materials for reports or projects. Beginning in January, first grade students may choose 2 books each week.
Grade 2:
Students may select two books each visit. They may also renew these books if they wish to keep them longer. Students may check out additional materials for reports or projects.
In addition, all students are welcome to come to the Media Center to exchange their library books for new ones during our morning check-out times.
Parents
Parents are also welcome to become patrons of our school library, and to check out materials for their families.
Overdue Books
Students with overdue books will not be allowed to select new books until all the overdue books are returned.
Damaged or Lost Books
If library books are damaged and need to be removed from the collection, we will request the replacement cost of the book or books. If books are lost, we will also expect the replacement cost of these materials. No library books may be borrowed until payment has been received.
