How to Get and Use a “Regular” PAWS Pass
If you wish to report to a class for PAWS other than the one you are scheduled to attend, you must plan ahead. Steps one and two below must be completed no later than 7:45 a.m. on the day you would like to use the PAWS Pass. Ideally you will complete the process the day before you hope to use the PAWS Pass.
Follow these simple steps to obtain a PAWS Pass:
1. Seek permission from the “requesting teacher” (the teacher whose class you’d like to attend). If this teacher approves, he or she will sign a golden-rod PAWS Pass and give it to you.
2. Present the PAWS Pass to the “releasing teacher” (the teacher whose PAWS class you are scheduled to attend but would like to be released from). If this teacher approves, he or she will sign the PAWS Pass and return it to you.
3. Report directly to the class of the requesting teacher (the class you wanted to attend) for PAWS with your pass.

are scheduled to attend), you must plan ahead. Steps one, two and three
below must be completed no later than 7:45 a.m. on the day you would
