Social:Hall monitor

From HandWiki
Short description: Individual responsible for monitoring student activities in school hallways

In the United States, a hall monitor may be either a student volunteer who is charged with maintaining order in a school's corridors, or an adult paraprofessional staff member who carries out similar duties, sometimes in conjunction with other functions. Students may be selected as hall monitors because they are considered mature and responsible enough, or they may be appointed in rotation.

Duties and functions

While specific duties vary between establishments, hall monitors typically check hall passes; maintain overall good conduct in the corridors; and ensure that students are punctual in attending classes.[1] Hall monitors may also be posted to a school's doors in order to prevent unauthorized entry during recess, in which case they may be known as door monitors.

At some schools, a hall monitor may receive extra privileges and authority not afforded to other students.
