Expectations for Hall Pass Use

• Color Zone

  • Students must use their assigned bathroom within their current class color zone. Color zones are indicated by the color of their hall pass/pod/bathroom.

• Hall Pass Timing:

  • No hall passes are allowed during the first 15 minutes and the last 15 minutes of each class. This helps minimize disruptions during critical instruction time.

  • One student at a time.

  • Before leaving the classroom, students must:

    • Sign out on the designated hall pass log, indicating their name, time of departure, and the purpose of the pass.

    • Leave their cell phone in the classroom

    • Take the hall pass with them.

  • Upon returning to the classroom, students must:

    • Sign back in on the hall pass log, indicating their time of return.

  • Failure to follow the check-in and check-out procedure may result in consequences.

• Monitoring:

  • Teachers have the flexibility to monitor the time students spend on hall passes using a method of their choice, such as a timer, hourglass, or other timekeeping devices.

  • Failure to follow the check-in and check-out procedure may result in consequences.
