How to pause the printer with a button ?

Hello guys,

I would like to use my 3D printer in school and I still have my MK3 at home. But before I can use it in school I have to rebuild it. This is actually done quickly. Now for my question: How can I pause the printer (it stops and does not print further) when someone opens the door ? I imagined that there is a button on the door and when the door is opened a signal is sent to the printer. How could I implement this in the software ? Would be cool if you have an idea.
