Leaving the class
Scholars should line up quickly when it is time to dismiss one
minute before the bell. The teacher should be the person to open
the classroom door to the hallway. Time matters! It is very
important that all teachers are on time using a formal bell system.
Teachers should release scholars on the sound of the bell. Scholars
should walk out one behind the other in a quiet, orderly fashion,
with their hands to their sides. No water or bathroom during
transitions.

Incomplete Exit Ticket Procedure:
No incomplete or blank exit tickets!
Students who do not complete exit tickets will complete it during
lunch and will remain in the Deans room during the remainder of
lunch
Transitions
When it is time for a transitions, there is one bell at the end of
class that signals teachers to step into the hallway. Teachers must
make sure that their door is open the entire way. The teacher
should check for oncoming classes before releasing the class into
the hallway. Upon a clear pathway, the teacher will say go and the
scholars will exit the class.
Scholars walk quietly (Level 1) as a class to their next classroom.
Scholars will remain on the right side of the hallway at all times
unless they are at a crossing zone. Scholars will transition
urgently and safely and enter their next classroom immediately upon
arrival. Scholars should not stop walking to carry on a
conversation or go their lockers. No more than 2 scholars can walk
beside each other during transitions.
Lunch
Expectation- All scholars are expected to be in their seats at a
level 2 during the 25 minute lunch period.
Enter the cafeteria at a level 0. Anything above that is too loud
and scholars will be expected to exit and do it again. The
administrator on duty must be at the door as scholars enter to
remind them of the expectation for entry (use the microphone to
ensure that everyone hears you)
Scholars will line up and wait to receive their lunch. Scholars in
line B must walk around the tables to the far side of the
cafeteria. No scholars are allowed to walk through the tables. If
the line gets backed up, have the scholars sit down at their tables
and then call tables as the line gets shorter.
All napkins, utensils, and condiments must be in hand before the
scholar gets to their seat
NO scholar may get out of their seat without the permission of an
adult.
Only administrators can give a scholar permission to use the
restroom. A teacher may get the attention of the AOD.
If the noise level gets above a 2, the administrator on duty will
use the universal signal for silence and wait for scholars to meet
the expectation. Administrator will keep scholars at Level 0 for
two minutes. Scholars will be allowed to talk after 2 minutes. All
adults in the cafeteria (including cafeteria workers) must also
meet the noise level expectation and remind scholars who are taking
too long to be silent.
Dismissal- The cafeteria is called to Level 0 at 5 minutes before
the end of the lunch period. Any announcements that need to be made
are made at this time.
Scholars are lined up by homeroom or grade level at this time. The
person calling each class must identify the door to line up at to
meet their teacher. For all grades, line up the classes at the same
door to create a consistent structure for the year. Also, if the
classes can be called in the same order, this would also be
helpful.
Scholars exit the cafeteria at Level 0. All scholars who are still
seated will remain at Level 0 until the cafeteria is empty. Any
scholars who do not meet the expectation should be placed on the
wall and placed on cafeteria clean-up duty for the next day.
