Us too! Our DD kept bringing home these easy reader books on library day. So my DH asked the teacher if she could show her where the chapter books are - like Magic Tree House, etc. The teacher said she would, but that was in Sept.

We requested also to have 2-3rd grade books, at least, be put in her nightly reading bag...we'll see what happens.

On the classroom front, DS has been very fortunate to have very understanding teachers for K and Grade 1. He was able to use books at home and books from the library (his choice) for his reading logs rather than using those in the classroom, which were mainly picture books. Once in a while, he would bring back books by Frank Asch just because the bear was so cute!
