Week 9: Hall Passes

MHS adopted a new hall pass system this year. The students have to fill out a small white paper pass that asks their name, period, date, time left, and time returned. The older passes required signature by the teacher for any where the student was going (library, nurse, bathroom, and locker.) This became a problem because students asked to go to the bathroom or locker at all times during the class period so class was constantly disrupted to obtain signatures from the teachers. This was solved when another teacher made the option just to circle locker or restroom to save class time and obtain signatures only when the student needs to go speak with another person in the school system.

The hall passes do take up a lot of paper we have almost been through 800 of them in only half of a school year, but they are working.

Since the hall passes are strict and you shouldn’t be in the hall without them, the principals are cutting down on skippers. Students cannot just go wondering about the hallways saying they are allowed out of the classroom, they have to have a pass and it makes them responsible and actually go where they say they are going to go.
