Teacher Center Procedures

For decades, Clovis Unified School District’s Teacher Center (TC) has been dedicated to supporting Clovis Unified teachers by offering resources that may not be available at the school site.  The TC has grown to include five laminators, two types of copiers, and over 1000 die-cuts.  As a well-equipped resource center, the TC remains close to teachers’ hearts as an extended and helpful hand.

  • ACCESS:  
    • While all Clovis Unified employees are welcomed, the TC is designed for Clovis Unified teachers and their helpers (parent volunteers, etc.)  The Center is not open to the public.  
    • However, Clovis Unified promotes volunteerism in the classroom; towards this goal, any classroom volunteer is allowed to use the TC once their assigned task is complete. Teachers and department leads can authorize users to access their account’s funds via an Additional User Form.
    • Teachers may not authorize other teachers onto their accounts as additional users.
    • The TC is closed daily from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. as of August 2025. Please see our About Us page under “Hours of Operation” for exceptions.
  • FOOD & DRINK:
    • The TC requests that food and drink be left in the break room by Supplemental Services or by the TC’s Lost and Found.
  • ASYNCHRONOUS JOBS:
    • The TC does not process asynchronous printing jobs. If you would like to print, please bring a master copy or a USB with the files you would like to print.
    • If you cannot make it to the TC, you may also authorize an additional user (such as an Instructional Assistant) to access your TC funds. Simply print out the Additional User Form and send TC Staff a signed copy either physically or digitally.
  • CHECKING IN:  
    • Teachers, parent helpers, and instructional aides enter their special Identification numbers into the laptop located in the Professional Learning Center’s lobby (just outside the TC).  A “Charge Out” form will be generated by entering this number.  The Charge Out form stays with the user throughout their visit.
  • CHECKING OUT:  
    • At the end of a visit, all Charge Out forms are completed and placed in the “Charge Out” tray located on the lobby counter.  Card payments can be made by checking in with TC Staff.
  • MACHINE POLICY:  
    • If there are more users than machines, a waitlist will be created.  Every user is allocated a maximum of 15 minutes using some machines in the TC.  The list will be available on the middle of the TC’s tables.  A Staff member will set a timer for each machine.  At the end of each 15 minute period, copying and duplicating will cease in order to allow the next customer their allocated 15 minutes.  Another 15 minutes may be allocated when a machine becomes available.
    • The TC does not process asynchronous printing jobs. If you would like to print, please bring a master copy or a USB with the files you would like to print. Large quantity jobs such as 100+ color copies or 5+ color posters are recommended to the Print Shop.
    • Please visit our Equipment Available page for the latest news on machines out of order.
  • FINANCES:
    • The TC is funded by District Lottery funds which provides each credentialed CUSD full-time teacher an account with $100 allocation on a yearly basis. CUSD part-time teachers receive a prorated account based on the percentage of their contract. Teachers may use their TC account to purchase and use materials at the TC.
    • All funds on a teacher’s account for the 2025-2026 school year must be depleted by June 30, 2026. Money does not roll over to the next year. Teacher accounts will be reset on July 1, 2026. This is the first day that teachers can access funds for the 2026-2027 school year.
    • Transfer of funds between teachers’ accounts is not available.
    • Overages are the responsibility of each teacher, to be paid before the end of the school year.
    • As of September 18, 2025, the TC only accepts payments via credit or debit. There is a processing fee. Payment can be made in person or via a one-time link. Please contact TC Staff for details
  • TOUR BOOKINGS:
    • The TC welcomes CTE, Leadership, and ELC tours. Please contact TC Staff to set up a tour time or inquire about setting up a tour for your department.
