Make sure that you have gotten my attention without disrupting the class to let me know you are leaving.
Hall Passes must be signed. If I am instructing or helping students use the “Super Star” stamp in place of my signature. You must use non-verbal signals to let me know what you are doing. Example- show me the stamp and the pass.
Once the Hall Pass is used, you must place it in the basket located on the table by my desk
