PHS will continue to use Digital Student ID and Hall Pass Platform called Minga to help create a safer learning environment for all. Students can access their Minga digital ID and digital passes any time with the Minga App on their cell phone (before school, passing periods, lunch or after school), or from any device (student chromebook) in the browser at app.minga.io
Minga allows our staff to know which students are walking our campus at all times.
Digital Passes
-
Students will be able to create their own Hall Passes but still need teacher approval.
-
The digital pass will be visible on the student’s Digital ID on their own device (phone, Chromebook etc) or from a teacher or staff device.
-
The handy countdown timer will let students know when they should be back in class.
Digital IDs
-
PHS Staff can instantly change stickers and badges on the ID for different uses.
-
Digital Student IDs can be used to quickly and easily access school events and activities.
-
Students will never have to worry about forgetting or losing their ID card.
MINGA Restrictions
-
Hall passes are not available in the first and last 10 minutes of each class period.
-
PHS administration can apply restrictions to Digital IDs for sporting events and dance admissions.

Go to the Classlink Icon
-
Click on the Minga Icon,
-
Type in the name of your classroom teacher
-
Activate your Minga pass
-
Get approval from your classroom teacher to leave the classroom.

Minga restrictions
-
To stay consistent with the PHS on campus Electronics Device Policy, students cannot use their phone to create a Minga Pass, they must use their school provided Chromebook. For classes, like PE, Art or Music classes where students cannot easily access their Chromebook, classroom teachers will create their Minga pass.
-
Senior Students and students with a valid early release pass may access their phone to show campus security upon exiting the campus each day.
-
Restroom/Water passes cannot be created for the first or last ten minutes of each class period.
-
Students cannot create Minga passes to the Library, Counseling, the Learning Center or to the Campus Nurse, classroom teachers will need to create the Minga pass. Students who attempt to go to these locations without a Minga pass will be sent back to the classroom.
-
Some students may have administrative consequences placed upon their Minga account where they are not allowed to create their own Minga pass. Classroom teachers can create a restroom/water pass for those students after the 10 minute blackout period.
