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. There are entirely too many students in the halls. The damage and vaping that is happening is out of control.
