Within the first several weeks of school, students became aware of the changes the school made with the new rules, especially in regards to attendance and hall passes. 

According to Spanish teacher Jennifer Spears, the new e-hall passes make it easier for teachers and administrators to track their student’s destinations.

“We need to be more conscientious of how many kids we’re putting in the hallway at once,” Spears said. “I think it actually helps us be more efficient and I think from my point of view it really is a positive change all around.”

 Spears believes the new system is on track, but it will take time for students and staff to adjust to the new technology.

“I think we’re in the transition process right now, and obviously both students and teachers just need to get more comfortable with the technology,” Spears said.
