By Kate Pritchard, Library Director
As the school year draws to a close, the time has come for our library books to return to their shelves. Middle and High Schoolers' books checked out this school year are due back to the Hassenfeld Library by Friday, May 8. Lower Schoolers' books are due Friday, May 15. After these dates, any books remaining on your account will be marked lost, and you will be charged a replacement fee for each book.
In the next few weeks, all rising Middle School and High School students will get a preview of their summer reading lists from our librarians. At this time, they will be allowed to check out up to three books for the summer. Students who have books checked out must return them before checking out new books for the summer. Rising LS students may not check out books from our library over the summer.
Books checked out over the summer will be due back to the library on Friday, August 21, at the end of the first week of school.

Mother Nature is not cooperating for our annual Popsicle Party. Depending on which weather app you use, actual and feels-like temperatures are 98 to 101 and higher. Under these conditions, we would limit student activities, so, in the interest of everyone's health and well-being, we are going to cancell our gathering at the River Campus. There is just not enough shade and certainly no air conditioning to bring relief to hundreds of USN families. Thank you for understanding. We look forward to seeing you in a few days for the start of our new school year.
