    Refunds

    When Leaving Carroll Elementary

    1. Tell your librarian you are leaving CES.
    2. Return all library books and pay all fees due to the CES Library before checking out of school.
    3. The librarian will tell the office you have cleared your library account.

    Note: If you transfer or graduate to another Carroll ISD school and still have CES library books and/or unpaid library fees, be aware your new school may block you from checking out books until you have cleared your CES Library account.
