6. Important Reminders Textbooks are important instructional materials for your classes. If your teacher asks you to bring it to class, please do so in order to maximize the learning in your coursework.

7. Important Reminders Textbooks belong to you AND ONLY TO YOU. Sharing textbooks with another student is not permitted because of the risk of damage or losing your textbook. If it is damaged or lost, the cost of the textbook is YOUR REPONSIBILITY.

8. Important Reminders When you are finished with your course, are withdrawing from Ashley Ridge, or are returning textbooks at the end of the school year, you should turn your textbooks into the designated place. You should NEVER give your textbook to another student or a teacher to turn in for you. The cost of that textbook is still YOUR RESPONSIBIILTY.

9. Important Reminders Do not leave textbooks in your classrooms because of the risk of them being stolen. It is also a wise practice to write your name inside your textbooks for identification reasons; however, realize that when turning in your textbooks, the office will use the barcode on the book to determine to whom it belongs, not the name that is written in the front cover.

10. Textbooks in the Handbook Students, please take some time to read our policies on textbooks in your student agenda on page 22.

11. eTextbooks Many of your courses have an option for an online textbook. This is a great resource to use alongside of your paper copy if you have online access at home. Typically, a username and password is required. Ask your teachers for each course for more information. If you choose to use the online edition instead of your paper copy, it is perfectly acceptable to keep your textbooks in your lockers until the end of school.
