Dear Veritas Prep Families,
I can't believe the year is almost over. Looking ahead to the final moments of the current year, and planing for the next, please read the important information
below
as it relate
s
to end-of-year events and activities.
Last Week of School
The last week of school has a different schedule (click here for full details). Please go over the semester exam schedule with your student; copies will be posted on campus as well. Veritas Prep uniform is to be worn for the entire last week of school, with one exception: On Friday, May 19, students may wear purchased House t-shirts. On May 19, seniors are also permitted to wear appropriate t-shirts for their chosen colleges. All other uniform rules still apply on May 19.
Non-Consumable Book Return
For each class that has a textbook, students should bring their textbook to the final exam session to have their teacher review its condition. All non-consumable textbooks that were issued at the beginning of the year must be left inside your student's locker on the last day of school. After Friday, June 3, textbook deposits will not be refunded for any non-returned books. Books are expected to be returned in a condition similar to that in which they were distributed, and all pencil markings erased. Books with excessive damage, unrepaired tears, and excessive pen marks or highlighting will not be accepted. If you have lost, misplaced, or damaged a book beyond repair, the replacement cost will be deducted from your book deposit. You may purchase books elsewhere with the identical ISBN numbers.
School-Issued Consumable Book Return
The school requests that families who were issued copies of consumable texts by the school return these books, along with textbooks, at the end of the school year. Please ensure these remain in your locker on the last day of school, as well.
Book Refunds for Non-Returning Students
Non-returning students must return all depository and consumable books in a good condition, close to the condition they were issued in. A fee for missing, lost, or damaged books may be charged. Parents may request the book refund by completing the form at the front desk or emailing the front office. Please be sure to include current mailing address. Refunds requests without receipt of deposit may take several weeks to process; your patience is appreciated.
TEXTBOOKS AND SCHOOL-ISSUED CONSUMABLES SHOULD REMAIN INSIDE YOUR STUDENT'S LOCKER ON THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL.
Locker Cleanup
All items except textbooks and school-issued consumables should be removed from the locker. Students may begin locker clean out on Monday, May 15, but must complete cleaning by Friday, May 19. If personal contents of the locker are not removed by the end of that day or if there is significant damage to the locker (excessive glue or markings), a fee may be assessed for repairs or cleaning costs. Any items found in the lockers after Friday, May 19, will be discarded.
Medication Pick-Up
Parents, who provided medicine(s) to the school for their student, should pick up them up from the front office. After the last day of school, all medications will be disposed of in a secure method.
