Hallway Privileges How it works: RED: 2 minute passing period Students may ask to level up each Thursday based on that week's behavior. They may ask any teacher for a "level up" form and may return it to any teacher. All teachers will discuss this during Friday and students will receive their new cards the following Monday. Without the card, no privilege will be issued. Students who have a red card due to a referral may earn their way to one level below what they were on prior to red the following week. Example: Week 10-green, Week 11-red, Week 12-blue Referrals written for tardies (including the first warning referral) are included. Students must be passing all classes to be on pink; no more than one F for green; no more than two Fs for blue. Three or more failing grades will put a student on yellow. They will no longer go to red simply for grades. RED: 2 minute passing period YELLOW: 5 minute passing period, within “E” hallway BLUE: 5 minute passing, outside of “E” hallway GREEN: 5 minute passing, outside of “E” hallway AND leave 2 minutes early to lunch PINK: 5 minute passing, outside of “E” hallway AND leave 2 minutes early to lunch AND free success period
