​The 10 minute morning break and 5 minute afternoon break are there for you to gather books, use the washroom, have a snack, etc. You should be staying in your own hallway, close to your locker or close the class you have following the break. You should not be in a hallway of a different grade level.

And, at 12:10, please leave the hallways quickly. Before the bell rings, decide where you will be going and go directly there. It should not take students 10 minutes to get to a destination. If you plan to be in a classroom, be sure to check with the teacher before going. All students must be supervised by an adult at lunch.
