school bell
Hallway period ringer
A school bell is a bell rung to signal the start and end of classes, recesses, and the school day itself.
The term evokes institutional routine and childhood memory: The school bell rang and kids poured into the hallway.
Figuratively, hearing the school bell means it's time to get to work or stop what you're doing.
