Check+Out+Textbooks


 * How to Check Out Textbooks using Zangle Inventory:**

Quick steps:
 * Log on to Zangle Front Office
 * Select current year/track
 * Click on Inventory Module
 * Choose Check In/Check Out
 * Click on By Section (IMPORTANT! Books not checked out by section cannot be tracked by teacher reports!)
 * **NEW:** From the first "Type" menu, choose Textbooks from the pull down arrow
 * Type in your course code or select from the pull down menu
 * Choose your section number (course code and section number can be found in your Zangle attendance screens)
 * Check box in lower left hand corner to allow items not assigned to section
 * Click the cursor into the box next to the student's name and type in or scan the student textbook number
 * Hit enter after each entry
 * A second column will show in bold the numbers checked out and the title of the book
 * VERY IMPORTANT, click on SAVE and DONE. Do not use the red X close box to quit. Make sure to use the quit button and log out of Zangle. If you leave or quit the program without clicking SAVE and DONE, you will lose your work.

You may opt to assign the books ahead of time by writing them on your paper roster and handing them out to students pre-assigned. That may reduce confusion and save time when the students are present.
 * Physical Textbook Check Out:**

Teachers should verify that each student writes their name inside their textbook along with the current school year, in pen. Have students write down the textbook # and the replacement cost in their curriculum letter, that way the parent has been notified of the cost if lost. Textbook Prices can be looked up in the Setup Module of Zangle Inventory.

Have students review their books for obvious damages. These can be noted in the book plate so they are not charged at the end of the year. Books with water damage should not be checked out. The resulting mold can cause allergic reactions and illness.

No new textbooks will be ordered for 5 years, so please ask students to cover their books.


 * Do not allow students to store books in your room. Many books are lost/stolen this way.**


 * Do not check out books by Student or ID. We cannot track bills or notices through these screens.** The Following PowerPoint Presentation has instructions for checking out books to your class by section:[[file:Textbook Check-Out by Section.ppt]]
