      No Party Groups

      Minga No Party Groups are designed to stop specific groups of students being out of class and meeting in the hallways at the same time. When one member of a No Party Group has an active Hall Pass, no other members of that group are able to have a hall pass. Can be used in incidences of vapers, vandalism and bullying.

      Pass List

      One Pass, Two Pass, No Pass & No Grant Lists

      Students can also be added to the No Pass list when they are not approved for any Hall Passes. This can be a permanent or temporary measure depending on the student. When a student is on a No Pass list they will be unable to create a hall pass. Staff will also receive a warning when assigning a Hall Pass to a student on this list and they override the warning if absolutely necessary. They can graduate off the list with good behavior by adding them to the One Pass or Two Pass Lists.

      The No Grant list will restrict any added teachers or staff from being able to create Hall Passes.
