CUSD Supplementary Materials Request

There are many great instructional materials that can be used to supplement our core curricular materials, but we want to ensure they are appropriate for our standards and students. Before purchasing supplementary materials for your classroom, submit a Supplementary Materials Request. Please note that depending on the nature of the request, further action may be required on your part (e.g., obtaining evaluation copies). Read the instructions carefully to determine if additional steps must be taken to complete the request. Check the list of approved supplementary materials to see if what you would like to use has already been approved (or not approved).

If the materials you request are instructional/curricular (as opposed to assistive or productive), you will need to make a brief (15-20 minutes) presentation to appropriate IRC staff on the material and its potential use in the classroom. You may wish to review the Supplementary Textbook or Instructional Material Evaluation Instrument (non-technology) that will be used to evaluate the instructional appropriateness of the materials before submitting your request.

NOTE: The IRC carries many supplementary materials in our media center, which are available for teacher checkout. Before completing a request or spending site funds, search our media center for available resources that you can borrow at no cost!

Supplementary Novel Requests

If the supplementary material you are requesting is a novel, please use the Supplementary Novel Request Form to submit your request.The novel request form will also be used to evaluate the novel submission.
