Allen ISD Elementary Lost and Damaged Books Policy

If a student loses or damages a library book, the student is responsible for paying for that book. We are happy to work with families who may be unable to pay for replacement books. If a lost book that was paid for is found, please return the book to the library and a refund will be issued if the book is in good condition. Refunds will gladly be issued during the same school year the book was lost.  However, we will be unable to refund lost book money after the last day of the school year that the book was lost.
