Should students who have a downstairs classroom 7th period and dismiss at 3:28pm walk upstairs to meet your friends, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc...

• NO

• Don't choose this one

Answer explanation

Students who are downstairs 7th period should NOT come back upstairs! The point of staggered bells is to have less students in the hallway at one time. We have enough students up here without more students coming upstairs for no good reason.

Should you walk around in the hallway with your headphones on your head or around your neck?

• No

• Don't choose this one

Answer explanation

Consider this my friendly reminder. A one on one reminder in the hallway because you have broken this rule may make you sad and cause me to walk all the way to the office to turn in your headphones.

You won a piece of candy in a game in your class. You don't have enough time to eat it before the bell rings. What should you do?

• Put it in your backpack for later.

• Walk down the hallway eating it.

• Tell everyone a teacher gave it to you so it must be allowed.

Answer explanation

If a teacher gives you anything food or candy related, consider that for their class ONLY. You should never be walking down the hall eating. It doesn't matter who gave it to you, put it in your backpack and do not assume you can have it in someone else's classroom.
