My comment:

You have to consider who will be reading the translation--if it is for the parents of students attending the school, then the translation should be "primario" because the parents will know what that is in the context of that particular school. You can't really call a kid "pre-escolar" if he goes to a school (see below).

My references:

In the U.S., escuelas primarias are known as elementary schools. Traditionally, the primary grades are first, second and third. Fourth, fifth and sixth were known as intermediate grades. In most places, sixth grade is now part of middle school. Nowadays, because of so many working mothers and because of increased knowledge of the value of early childhood education, many regular elementary schools offer on-site daycare and education for young children three and older, especially in poorer neighborhoods.

This is NOT a mistake in the English text; the school is using "primary" purposely. I think it's a new meaning for primary: students at an elementary school who aren't in first grade yet.

LOS PREESCOLARES (preferible) / LOS PÁRVULOS

My comment:

Para mí es una manera (muy rara, por cierto) de denominar a los alumnos del ciclo preescolar, también llamado la Preprimaria. En el Uruguay ya no se dice "jardín" porque es un espacio pedagógico, no un jardincito.

Con todo, el original es confuso. Tendría que decir NURSERY students. De Primaria son todos.

Espero que te sea útil. Salu2.

But Carlos, that is preschool: Preschool education (or infant education) is the provision of learning to children before the commencement of statutory and obligatory education, usually between the ages of zero and three or five, depending on the jurisdiction. In some places, such as the United States, preschool precedes Kindergarten and the normal primary school system.

La traducción de estos términos depende mucho del país en que va a ser leído el documento. Todas las traducciones que ves aquí dicen lo mismo pero son dadas por personas con diferente nacionalidad. Yo soy colombiana.

My comment:

Primary students se refiere a los estudiantes primarios (básicos, principales), el cuerpo de estudiantes que pide en préstamo los libros, no a los estudiantes de primaria (grade school students).

Los estudiantes, los maestros y el personal de la escuela son los principales ususarios [básicos, primarios] de la biblioteca fulana de tal.

Is your original incomplete?

My references:

As in: Primary users of XXX Library Media Center print materials are the students, teachers, and staff; Primary users of XXX Library Center ... Students may check out books for a period of 2 weeks. Kindergarten and first graders may check out 1 book at a time. ... Otherwise they will only be able to check-out one book at a time.

Hola, Peonia, ¿cómo andás? No, no está incompleto el texto. Dice, como copié "Primary students are allowed to take out one book and first grade students are allowed to take out two books," y por eso no sabía qué poner. Sigue diciendo cuántos libros pueden sacar según el grado, pero los de 5º son tan alumnos de primaria como los de 1º, pero eso no sé qué podía querer decir. Los alumnos de 1º, ¿pueden sacar uno o dos? Ahí está la contradicción.

¿Se referirán a los alumnos de jardín de niños entonces? I have never heard this usage of primary=kindergarden, it would make sense since the progresion goes on... but it's odd. (Somebody forgot to proofread the original?). On similar policies I have seen kindergarden students can only check out one book... "The number of books each student is allowed to check out each week is one book for kindergarten five and first grades; and two books for second grades" // "Kindergarten students are allowed to check out one book each week. First graders can check out two books at a time and second graders can check out three books" // Your logic is correct, and 1st graders can take out 2 books - I think this is an error on the original.

Primary students can check out 1 book; 1st graders, 2 books and so on and so forth. Aren't 1st graders students in primary level?

"estudiante" sugiere un ciclo de ensenianza superior y puede incluso confundirse con estudiantes de universitad... creo que mejor utilizar este matiz-- "alumno"

No tiene sentido. Todos los niveles son de primaria, y después explica que a medida que el grado es más alto, más libros se pueden llevar. No es eso.

Acabo de investigar y resulta que en EE.UU primary school resultaria kindergarden, o preescolar. En EE.UU hay kindergarden 1 y 2. En algunos países de Latinoamérica como en México sería kindergarden y preprimaria.

La traducción que yo sugiero es "los alumnos de prescolar están autorizados a sacar un libro a vez, mientras que los alumnos de primer grado tienen autorizados dos libros a la vez.
