THE CHALLENGE
An Intervention Period That Had Become Free Time
PrideTime was meant for academic support, but it had turned into a free period for make-up work. Tier 2 intervention scheduling and tracking took time away from teaching. Meanwhile, bathroom meetups, TikTok-inspired pranks, and vandalism were growing, and paper passes and spreadsheets couldn’t show who was where.
Key problem areas:
- PrideTime wasn’t being used for targeted support
- Scheduling and tracking the period wasted teacher time
- Bathroom meetups, pranks, and vandalism were rising
- Paper passes and spreadsheets couldn’t track student movement
- Students and staff had little accountability
The previous system was disorganized and didn’t support the level of structure we needed. PrideTime wasn’t being used for targeted interventions, and we weren’t able to keep track of behavior across the school. It felt like we were always putting out fires rather than being proactive.”
THE SOLUTION
Tier 2 Intervention Scheduling and Hall Passes in One Place
Greer Lingle moved interventions and hall passes into Minga. Teachers now assign students to PrideTime sessions based on what each student needs, and attendance is tracked automatically.
On the hallway side, staff issue passes in three clicks, limit how many students are out at once, and use No Party Groups to keep students who shouldn’t meet up from leaving class at the same time.
What Minga offered:
- Teachers assign students to interventions based on need
- A dashboard showing who attended each intervention and who didn’t
- Three-click hall passes with a real-time view of the halls
- Limits on how many students are out at once
- No Party Groups to prevent bathroom meetups
Minga was a total game-changer for us. We’ve been able to solve some of our biggest challenges all in one place: interventions, hallway movement, bathroom behavior, and school operations in general. Things aren’t falling through the cracks anymore. The biggest impact is that with FlexTime, our teachers are able to provide targeted support where it’s needed most, and a lot more value has been brought to flex period, Pride Time.”
THE OUTCOMES
Targeted Support for Every Student and Calmer Hallways
690 Tier 2 sessions in one month
PrideTime is now focused support, with attendance tracked for every session.
Less scheduling work for teachers
Teachers assign and track interventions in Minga instead of juggling spreadsheets.
500+ meetups prevented in one month
No Party Groups and limits on passes keep bathrooms from becoming meeting spots.
Fewer behavior incidents
Bathroom incidents and class disruptions are down, and staff can step in before things escalate.
Fewer systems to manage
Interventions and hall passes now live in one place.
Consistent follow-up on behavior
Staff logged 5,500 consequences and corrective steps in one month, so accountability looks the same in every classroom.
Minga has been an incredible tool in helping us navigate the unique challenges of middle school. It provides the structure students need while still allowing for flexibility in how we deliver support. It’s made a huge difference in how we approach interventions.”
