For accountability and fiscal responsibility, it is expected that the Destiny Textbook Manager system is used and used with fidelity in ALL buildings. Therefore, student textbooks are to be assigned using the Destiny Textbook Management system. A student textbook is defined as any book that is issued to an individual student or issued as a “class set” to the teacher for students to use within the classroom.
In Grade 3-12, all student textbooks are to be assigned directly to students using the Destiny Textbook Manager. In Grade K-2, individual student textbooks or “class sets” are to be assigned to the appropriate teachers. Class sets of novels, dictionaries and textbooks not meant to be issued directly to the student (e.g. Grade 6 & 7 Science, Art, Music, etc.), are to be assigned to the teachers.
