How Minga Hall Passes Work in the Classroom

Here is a simple workflow for uninterrupted classes:

1. Ask Permission - Student asks the teacher's permission to go to the bathroom or for a drink of water. (This represents 90-95% of typical hall pass usage)
2. Approval - Teacher responds with "yes, go ahead and create your Hall Pass" or "no" and the process is over.
3. Create Pass - Student creates their hall pass on their mobile device or school issued device (Chromebook) and shows it to the teacher. 
4. Use Pass - Student can depart without their device. Staff can monitor the hall passes through the Hall Pass Dashboard. 

However, some hall passes will be set up to require Teacher Approval after being created by the student.
