Elementary has only one option for sorting their overdue lists, that is by homeroom. The homeroom option in LM750 is equivalent to 1st period because it is used by secondary as well as elementary. There are a few things to consider when filling out the screen, they are listed below. Please check them carefully before you click on print. Go to LM750 and fill in the screen as I have below in the screen shot, this will give you a basic report format of the overdue books by classroom.

Considerations:
1. You will need to enter a date range. If you want everything that is due to you for this year and pervious years enter the dates in using a beginning date from a few years past using Aug. 1 and the starting month and day, this will cover any differences in school start dates. The ending date should always be either the current day or the following day. Using the following day allows you to see what is due on that day since these won't be considered overdue until the next day.
2. The second thing to consider is report type. You can get either a report listing the overdues in alpha order by homeroom teacher or a slips to send home with the individual students.
3. The last thing to consider or remember is that you can get a grade level report, but it will not be grouped by teacher, it will be in alpha order for the whole grade level. For this option check the box next to "class". If you want to do overdues for a class you will need to type in the first 5 letters of the teacher's last name and the 1st letter of the teacher's first name.
4. Last note, remember to check the "replacement cost" box so that the price of the book shows up on the report.

A final note --- this is not the option you want to chose to print overdues for a single person, that is better done in LM715.
