Student Alivia White (11) said the shift from a 10-minute to a 5-minute passing time makes it a little stressful to get from one end of the school to the other.“I feel like I’m always rushing,” White said. “I have to tell my teacher if I’m gonna go to the bathroom or my locker.” Becky Bardgett, an English teacher, doesn’t mind if students are late as long as students tell her where they are going.“Students will come and drop their stuff off and ask if they can go to the bathroom,” Bardgett said. “That way, if they’re a few seconds or a few minutes late, I know where they are.”Student Emma Goedken (12) has started to bring more supplies with her throughout the day.“I put all of my supplies in my Chromebook case and bring it with me to classes,” Goedken said. “That way I don’t have to sprint from class to class.” Principal Matt Svare said the passing time took a lot of trial and error with tardies and bell malfunctions, but he is confident the changes are worth it.“Kids are efficient and more disciplined in the hallways,” Svare said. “They are getting ready for next year.” </div></body>
