FREE Bathroom Passes If you are (extremely) tired of letting students go to the bathroom every time they are bored or “need” to check their phones, bathroom (restroom) passes may be the way to go about it. You can decide how many passes to give your students a quarter for them to use when necessary (I suggest 3-5). If they use less than the number given, you can potentially allow them to turn them in by the end of the quarter for extra credit. You may want print the restroom passes on different colored paper for each quarter and keep a jar or folder of used passes just in case someone comes back later and wants to say they didn’t use theirs. In case you want to be more organized, you can use the attached chart/table to keep track on how many passes each students have used at any given time. I hope these passes will reduce the frequency of your students bathroom visits. Please leave a feedback if you have ideas on how to improve the use of the passes… :-)
