Follow these four stages to kickstart hallway management with Minga, reduce your hallway traffic, prevent unwanted meetups, and save your teachers' time.

✋

Before You Start

Double-check that the technical integration steps are complete. Review the checklist here.

Stage 1

Discover

➜

Watch the Hallway Management video series for context of how hall passes could work on your campus.

➜

Choose how hall passes are created. Decide whether students or teachers will create passes and on which devices.

➜

Choose how hall passes are ended. Decide between automatically and manually ended hall passes.

💡

TIP:

For the least interruptive classroom workflow, we have set the default in Minga as student-created and automatically-ended passes.

Stage 2

Build

➜

Review default hall pass types. Start simple, add or adjust or add only what you need.

💡

TIP:

We recommend starting simple with restroom and fountain passes only. You can add more later!

➜

Define hall pass limits. Adjust the pass duration and the number of passes a student can have per day.

➜

Set pass restrictions & blackouts. We often recommend “blacking out” the first and last 10 minutes of class.

Stage 3

Launch

➜

Host a meeting with teachers and introduce them to My Class, this is their home base in Minga and where they assign hall passes. Here is a resource you can share!

➜

Hang posters around your campus about Minga to help students understand expectations.

➜

Set a date for launch. If you've connected your SIS with Minga, reviewed the settings in the app, and let staff and families know, then you're ready to launch!

💡

TIP:

Monitor the Hall Pass Dashboard alongside hallway monitors or staff during your first few days.

STAGE 4

Refine

➜

Review hallway data & reports. Use the Students Report to spot "frequent flyers".

➜

Review No Party Group Insights. Spot potential hallway meetups and assess current no party group effectiveness. (Plus & Premium subscriptions only)

➜

Adjust settings based on data & feedback. Use your first 30 days of data to refine limits, blackout times, or pass types based on need.
