Can I still graduate with a lost textbook?

Well here's the story. 1st Trimester, I had Grammar homework. And the same day I had Grammar Homework, I had my first science Olympiad meeting. Once I got to the meeting, with my textbook, the coach told me to run an errand for her. I left my Binder, Grammar Textbook, and Backpack all in the same place. Once I came back, The room was filled with 60 students. So my stuff was across the classroom, and I couldn't get through. After the meeting, I grabbed my stuff and left. When I got home, I discovered my grammar book wasn't there! The next day I went to school and searched in the Science room and found no book. Now it's the 3rd Trimester, Graduation is in less then 40 days, and I don't know what to do. I can't walk down the graduation aisle without that book! I told my dad and he's being parsimonist and saying I should go find it. He will NOT buy a new one! I plan to replace the book with some money(from my mom) , But will I be able to walk down the graduuation aisle? I'm in 8th grade.

But before I pay, Should I ask the office? All the other eight grade classes? I already searched in my homeroom.

Often when things are taken, it isn't a coincidence. If you haven't already been given it back, you probably won't. (I remember as freshman in college I lost a TI-83 calculator I left in a classroom... It had disappeared, and I had to buy a new one. When I was a senior, I recieved an email stating that my major's department had my calculator... Apparently somebody had found it, used it, and FINALLY had returned it when they didn't need it anymore!) You should go to whomever your teacher is (of the textbook) and explain the situation to him or her, and offer to pay for the book if necessary. Then ask if it'll affect your graduating. Good luck!

Ask your head teacher and explain that your coach asked you to do something , this i think is not your fault cos if you hadn't had to run that errand you wouldn't have lost the book .....here in the U.K. we cannot graduate with outstanding books out or lost they have to be returned or paid for .with time of the essence now....can you not borrow one from someone? if not talk toyour mum ...hope things work out

As long as you pay for the replacement for the book, you will be allowed to graduate. I encourage you to talk to someone in the office about it so you will stop worrying about it.

in my school they made it a rule i wouldnt get my diploma if i didnt turn in my books. U need to find it or find a way to pay for it. Good luck finding it, it will most likely show up after everyone turns there books in.
