Return from a hall pass on time
When to use this goal
For students whose restroom, water, or office trips stretch to 15 or 20 minutes, losing instruction. Restroom access is never limited; the goal is the return. Present levels, not grade, decide the target.
- Baseline
- Record leave and return times on a sign-out sheet for a week. Note medical needs, which are excluded.
- Tips
- Sign-out sheets give data for free. Never deny a restroom trip. If trips are escape, look at the class task too.
- Limits
- Health needs and the student's health plan override this goal, and restroom access is never reduced. Long restroom lines or distant restrooms change trip times; note them when they happen.
