Hall Passes After Break

According to our PBIS data, along with a perception in the hallways during 5th and 6th hour, getting students in to class at the right times is one of our biggest struggles here at Lincoln Park High School.  With this being the case, we are going to put some new guidelines in place after Christmas Break.  In order to make it effective, we will need everyone to be on board and following along. 

During all classes, students must have a pass to leave class.  Students will be asked to show their pass when they are in the hallway and if they do not have one, will be escorted to class first and then to ISS for our repeat offenders.  Students being in the hallway without having a pass will be assigned after school or lunch detentions. 

In addition to this, I am asking that you not allow student in your room that are not on your roster for that hour unless they have a written pass from the teacher whose room they are supposed to be in that excuses them specifically to come to your class.  Again, we can't do the work of keeping students where they are supposed to be without everyone's involvement and cooperation. 

EMC kids will be dismissed from their classes and are expected to leave or report to the athletics wing if they are playing sports.  They are allowed to make appointments with staff members, but again, should have it in writing. 

I recognize that all of this seems like a lot and may seem strict, but we have got to cut down on the number of students in the wrong places at the wrong times.  Students need to be in class to learn. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know and thank you in advance!
