Teachers we are seeing a lot of students in the office from common areas: Hallway, Cafeteria and Playground.  Please review your expectations with your students before you leave your classrooms. Monitor students closely.  If students cannot handle unstructured recess then you may want to consider structuring your recess time and slowly letting them earn free play back.  Remember, teachers should be actively monitoring students in the cafeteria while they are in the lunch line and when they are lining up to leave.
