Blog Guidelines

Welcome to the Cubs Library!  I encourage students, parents or staff to our blog to post comments.  Blogs are a fantastic tool to share thoughts and ideas with a world wide audience.  However, because a blog is a public space that is seen on the internet, it is important to follow the listed guidelines to make sure this blog is used in a secure and safe manner.  All comments submitted must be approved by Mrs. Kalbfleisch before they are posted on our blog.

Comment Rules:

  • Only first names used.  Any student work or comments will be identified by first name only.
  • Parents who leave comments are asked not to use last names either.  (Please post comments as “Samantha’s Mom” or “David’s Uncle”, etc.)
  • Any photos of students on the blog will be completely anonymous without any names connected to them.
  • All comments or posts have to be approved by Mrs. Kabfleisch before they are included on the blog.  Inappropriate or sloppy writing will not be approved.
  • Be respectful and thoughtful always.  Make sure your comment is something you would want everyone to see.
  • Proof-read your comments carefully and use appropriate language, grammar and spelling.
  • No text-or mobile phone language please!  Full sentences and words only please!

Comment Ideas:

  • Are 2-5 sentences in length (could be more, but not less please)
  • Give new information (write a book review for example)
  • Give and support your opinion
  • Ask questions
  • Reply to another posted comment
  • Respond to others respectfully and thoughtfully
