Young Adult Opt-Out Form
- The book collections in the middle school libraries contain a wide variety of titles to accommodate a range of individual student needs and interests. These collections include a number of Young Adult (YA) novels. YA novels are books whose characters tend to be between 13-18 years of age and may address topics or themes that are more mature than books categorized as "middle grade". These books are identified with a "YA" sticker on the spine.
- If you DO NOT want your child to read YA books, please fill out the YA Book Opt-Out Form.
