Arrowhead students now have to use hall passes every time they want to leave the classroom. These passes have been touched many times.

Senior Brian Eineke says, “I feel that the hall passes are a waste of time when we have to fill out the sheet and a carry a dirty pass to the bathroom.  Also, I feel I’m pretty popular at this school and that the hall pass isn’t helping my reputation.”

In order to not get in trouble in the hallway, students need a pass.

“Passes get pretty dirty and might make you think about the students that don’t wash their hands,” Eineke says.

Senior Teaghen Ploetz says, “All we should have to do is sign out and not have to carry a pass around.”

Its not guaranteed that every teacher washes their passes in the classroom, but one thing can be assured: it will never be as clean as you think it is.

North Campus English teacher Liz Munkwitz says, “While I understand the need for hall passes, I’m not a huge fan of the sanitation factor. I wash and disinfect my hall passes all the time (at least once a week). Cleaner the better!”

Assistant principal Peter Nejdelo says, “We have always had hall passes, we just are enforcing them more this year because of people roaming the hallway too much. Especially in the middle area by Tower’s room because that where the most traffic flow is.”

Regarding cleanliness he said, I don’t know what all teachers are doing, but an example is study hall supervisors spray them everyday.”

There is definitely things being done to keep the passes clean and the staff is doing their job to enforce passes to decrease roaming in the hallways.
