What if I don’t want to join this scheme?

The success of this Book Rental Scheme will greatly depend on all parents and pupils buying into the scheme.
Not only are the school buying full sets of all core class texts, but a wide variety of other textbooks and novels are being purchased too.
Should a parent not wish their child to be part of the scheme, then they would have to purchase all books that their child will be using in class. This would be hugely costly for parents.
The school have purchased levelled books for each pupil in the school. In September every pupil will be assessed and their level of reading obtained.
At junior level children are learning to read and in senior level they are reading to learn
With levelled books, pupils are able to read with 90% accuracy. This enables the child to enjoy the text because there is not an overwhelming amount of "road blocks" that interfere with comprehension.
They will learn the skills and knowledge required to read increasingly more difficult texts on their own. Independent reading is the GOAL - guided reading provides the framework to ensure that pupils are able to apply strategies to make meaning from print. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Guided Reading Books —Rented to pupils

There are many benefits for both parents and pupils;
- The scheme will greatly reduce the amount of money spent by parents each year on books.
- Parents no longer have to go through the hassle of purchasing and covering books.
- As the school is buying in bulk, there will be a significant discount on price.
- All pupils will have access to a much wider range of textbooks, as the school will purchase additional class texts.
- The back to school costs for parents are spread more evenly throughout the year.
Can I donate schoolbooks to the school?
Yes. The school would be delighted to accept any textbooks of good quality. Any donations would greatly help to reduce the cost of book rental in the long term.
- The school will need to replace sub-standard / damaged books each year.
- The school will purchase additional textbooks annually to provide a wider range of resources for our pupils.
The school has purchased a book covering machine which will help prolong the life of the books.

Newport Boys National School Book Rental Scheme 2016/17

What is a textbook rental scheme?

A book rental scheme means that the school will purchase all textbooks
Parents pay a rental charge of €15 to the school each year for the use of these books.
The books are owned by the board of management.
Pupils return the books at the end June each year
The Book Rental Fee of €15 will be charged in the month of June prior to the start of the school year in September.
This is to allow the school enough time to purchase all textbooks required for the new school year, and is aimed at spreading costs for parents to avoid the big “September Spend”.
All lost books will have to be replaced by the parent.
