Ask not for whom the bell tolls...
...it tolls for the kid you sent into the hallway about 25 minutes ago. You know the one- every time he asks for a pass to the restroom, you wonder what he really wants to do.
OK, so we all know that the first step involves making sure he is engaged in the class activities, feeling that his needs are met, and having a positive sense of self-worth in the peer group.
But he also might not know exactly how much time has passed since he left the classroom. The Hall Pass Timer (available for checkout from the T/TAC AT lab) might be what he needs.

"Times's Up" warning lights and alarms on both Hall Pass and Teacher Monitor.
