• Walk and talko As you go from class to class, you need to keep moving. If you

stop and group up in an area, it keeps others from moving smoothly. Please keep moving from one class to the next.

• Stay to the righto In the hallways, stay to the right hand side. With 3600+, we need

to keep it smooth.

Hallway Movement and Traffic

Monday’s Focus – every period

• Be courteous and polite as you move through the hallways.

• If teacher/administrators ask you to keep moving, keep moving.

• Go the restroom, get a drink, and keep moving.

Hallway Movement and Traffic

Monday’s Focus – every periodHall Pass Protocol

Goals: a) Hall Pass procedures utilized to maximize instructional time b) To maintain a safe learning environment for everyone. The following will be the protocol students will follow for the 2014/15 school year: Two elements must be present when a student is in a hallway.

Purpose- The student must have a viable purpose for transitioning during instructional time.Pass – The student must possess a pass from a teacher approving the student out of class.


• Allowable passes include:o Nurse Passo Library Passo Paper Hallway Pass

leave and reenter the classroom to ensure maximum instructional time.


• The “10-10” Rule will be in effect this school year. That is, students will not be allowed to leave the classroom for the first ten minutes of instruction and the last ten minutes of instruction. This will best allow the classroom teacher to provide the instructional focus for all students to begin the class and to assess student performance to end the class.

• There should only be one student out of class at a time.


• Students observed in the hallways without a pass will be directed or escorted to the nearest Student Services Office.

• Students should move only to their destination and then straight back. There should be no wandering.

• Teachers will periodically follow up with coworkers regarding appropriate use of hall pass.

• Frequent hall pass requests by particular students will be addressed by the nurse, librarian, and/or administration.

Thursday

Thursday’s Focus – every periodSafety Procedures

The following information is to prepare our students in the event of an unusual occurrence on our campus. It is important, no matter what the situation, to remain calm and follow any and all instructions.

Building Evacuation• Review the information in your red Building Evacuation Procedure

folder• Discuss evacuation routes as posted in your classroom

Primary route Secondary route

• What you will use to identify your location to your class in the evacuation location (Hold up an item so that your students can locate you– an umbrella or some other easily identified item)

• Class must stay together; it is not a social gathering.


Lockdowns (three different levels)• Level One Lockdown: This is the state that we are at every day

all day. Except for the main entrances, the doors are locked, and everyone must check in with office upon entering or before exiting the building.

• Level Two Lockdown: The announcement for this is: “Lockdown, lockdown, lockdown!” This is used anytime we need to keep the students out of the hallways. During this time, classes resume as normal, just no one is to be in the hallways. We use this level of lockdown when there may be action in the area that could infiltrate the campus, or it could be as simple as a stray animal in the hallway and we need to keep the students away until the situation is cleared.


Lockdowns (three different levels)• Level Three Lockdown: The announcement for this is:

“Intruder, intruder, intruder!” This is the level that it used when there is an intruder in the building. Doors are all secured, classrooms lights are off, windows are covered, and no one goes in or out without the knowledge of the school administration or Law Enforcement.

If you see something wrong…REPORT IT! If you notice something not right-- a loose wire, a strange person, water spilled on the floor, a broken window-- TELL A TEACHER
