VISIT THE NEST!

General Use

Our Hawks are always welcome in the Nest with a pass from their teacher! 

Guidelines for what's available change slightly throughout the day, but we always ask that our students keep the purpose of the library's spaces in mind while they're visiting: creativity, productivity, inspiration, learning, and relaxation are our goals. See below for information on what may be available during your visit.

Passes

HBMS uses a system called SmartPass. The Nest Passes chart below explains the passes to the Nest & the different visit purposes.

Before School

8:20 am - 8:45 am

• Read in our Reading Room or lounge areas
• Browse for, check out, & return books
• Participate in MakerSpace activities
• Work respectfully in student work areas

During Classes 

During 9th Period & All Instructional Times:

• Students are welcome to come in for book checkouts and returns or are to work in our open workspaces or Nest desktops
• The MakerSpace is not open unless by special request from the teacher via email
• We have chargers available if students need to charge their devices while working in the Nest's open work areas

Homeroom/Lunch

Visit with Purpose During 4th Period Homeroom:

• Read in our Reading Room or lounge areas
• Browse for, return, and check out books
• Participate in MakerSpace activities
• Work respectfully in student work areas

Visit Expectations:

• While the MakerSpace is often a fun, creative area, it is not an extra recess or playground. Students should speak and interact using "inside voices," and they should be respectful and responsible with the materials provided.
• Pay attention to announcements from the Nest staff about when to return to homeroom for lunch or dismissal.  
• Clean up your area and push your chairs under before you leave.

Students disrupting the creative, productive environment of the Nest at any point during the school day will be asked to leave, and their teacher will be notified of their behavior. Multiple occurrences of disruptive behavior during homeroom will result in students losing visiting privileges during this time of the school day.
