The conference period may be used for one of the following reasons.

• Student club meetings
• Test makeup or retakes
• Tutoring

It is not for...

• Hanging out in our favorite teacher's classroom
• Visiting friends in another teacher's room.
• Going to the vending machine.

• At the start of the conference period, you have a 5-minute passing period to travel. Teachers have been reminded to let you out of class on time!
• After the 5-minute passing period, the bell rings, ALL students still in the hallway will be swept to the cafeteria! Even those with a pass, as the pass is no longer valid!
• If a student is swept, they will be assigned to Saturday School.
• Students must have a paper pass. No picture passes, no ALL-school emails from your teacher.
• Students must stay in their conference location for the entire conference. Can't go back to your original class.
• Students must have a bathroom pass, or else they will be swept too!
• The teacher sending the student CANNOT write the pass. Only the receiving teacher can write the pass.
• Students arriving to school late will also sit in the cafeteria but will not be assigned to Saturday school. 

Yes, if you are in the hallway after the 5-minute passing period, your pass is no longer valid, you will be swept to the cafeteria and assigned Saturday School.

This shouldn't happen, but in the event it does, to be consistent with the rules, you will need to stay in that class. It is unfortunate, but the school is too large, with too many students traveling for our security team to try to distiguish each individual case.
