New rule: no bathroom breaks. Sorry folks. Not my choice, but it's what I've been asked to enforce by our administration. From the admin: "We need everyone to be consistent with the tardy policy and using the bathroom during passing period! There are NO break times this year.

IF students can't use the bathroom because of groups in their vaping or hanging out, they need to tell someone."
