Text &Library Books

If your child has text or library books that were not returned to school please look around for them so they can be returned.. All Lee County Schools have a data base which will allow a student's record to follow him to a new school, so if your child did not return books or lost a book, the personnel at his new school will be asking for these books.

The average cost of a middle school textbook is $55.00, so it becomes very expensive to replace books that were provided to a student and not returned. Please help us to provide books for all our students.
