Textbook Policy
Students are responsible for the care and preservation of
all instructional materials checked out to them. The
textbooks checked out to you with your Los Gatos High School ID
card are the property of the Los Gatos/Saratoga Union High
School District and it is your privilege to use these books
while you are a student at Los Gatos High School.
Students will be issued textbooks only for those classes
in which they are enrolled. Students are required to return
all textbooks at the conclusion of the class, at the
direction or request of the administration, teacher or
textbook staff, or if the student leaves Los Gatos High
School.
