Textbooks and other instructional materials are issued at the beginning of each semester and throughout the semester as requested by teachers. Textbooks for year classes, such as Biology, Mathematics, English, History, and Modern Languages are usually issued for the full school year. Textbooks for semester classes are issued at the beginning of each semester and collected at the end of each semester. Class novels are issued and returned at the discretion of the teacher.

 

 

Students are responsible for the care and preservation of all instructional materials checked out to them and must report any and all unmarked damages to the library staff within 1 week of checking out materials.

 

The textbooks checked out to you with your Nogales High School ID card are the property of the Rowland Unified School District and are for your use while you are a student at Nogales High School.

 

Only students with a current, valid Nogales High School ID card will be issued books. Students will be issued textbooks only for those classes in which they are enrolled. Students are required to return all textbooks at the conclusion of the class, at the direction or request of the teacher and/or the Library staff, or if the student leaves school.
