Policies and Procedures

Student Visits

• The Cube follows a semi-flexible model. Students can visit the Cube independently during EXL time, WIN time, or in the morning from 8:05-8:25. 5th and 6th grade Language Arts teachers visit the Cube with their classes for lessons, book talks, and checkouts bi-monthly. All teachers may schedule time to visit or collaborate throughout the day.

Behavior Expectations

• The Cube is a place for collaborating, creating, and cooperating. It's also a fun place to learn and discover. All students are expected to model CHAMPS behavior expectations in the Cube.

Checkout Policies

• Students may check out up to 4 books at a time.

• Checkout period is for 3 weeks. Students may renew the book twice (if needed).

• Students may check out 1 current Caudill nominee at a time. 

• It is the responsibility of the student to maintain the safety and integrity of the book checked out, and to return it.

Overdue Books

• The library does not collect overdue fines for late books. 

• Students will receive printed overdue notices 1 x a month in their LA classes. If they have questions or concerns, they can speak with the Librarian. 

• Students guardians will receive an email 1 x a month. 

Lost & Damaged Books

• If a student loses or damages a book beyond repair, they are expected to pay for a replacement. This transaction is handled by the Cube Librarian. Students may also provide a replacement copy if needed.
