How It Works
Encounter Prevention
Detect & Automatically Block Student Meetups
Let SmartPass tell you which students are regularly out on a pass at the same time—then get ahead of the problematic encounters before they start. Encounter Prevention can block meetups for besties, vaping, bathroom vandalism, or the next TikTok challenge.
Missed Class Time
Comprehensive Digital Record of Missed Class Time
Missed Class Time is clearer than ever with SmartPass. Get reliable, real-time data that offers clear insights into student behavior. Catching subtle, early signs like missing class can inform your RTI or MTSS framework.
Schedules
Know Where Every Student Is
Front office staff love the simplicity of locating a student with SmartPass. With bell schedules and synced class rosters incorporated into Hall Pass, find any student easily—whether they’re in Algebra or on a pass to the nurse.

Flexible Features with Per-Student Pricing
Easy-to-use passes for simple, everyday restroom + water breaks.
Basic Hall Passes
Create basic bathroom, water fountain, nurse, and counselor passes. Plus, include a reason for the pass!
Schedule Passes
Schedule a time to meet with a student. Great for counselor appointments, band practice, early dismissals, and more. Plus, both students and the teachers whose classes they are missing get email notifications. Students can request time from teachers, too.
Encounter Prevention
Prevent 2+ students from being in the hallways at the same time. They are automatically blocked and notifications are sent to teachers with explanation.
Pass Limits
Limit the number of passes students can have per day, week or term. For example, 3 passes per/day, or 10 passes/week.
Set a limit for all students, and customize the limit for individual students based on pass usage. Plus, you can designate which rooms this limit applies to. For example, only restrooms and water fountains.
Of course, teachers can override pass limits if it's an emergency.
Make student movement smarter, safer, and less stressful.
All Lite features, plus
Passes Need Approval
Restrict rooms so students require teacher approval to go to a certain place. Teachers can approve passes with a private PIN, or from their own device.
For example, students may need a teacher's permission to go to the bathroom, but have the option for a Water Fountain break at any time. Teachers and students both love the flexibility.
Kiosk Mode
Have old Chromebooks lying around? Set up a SmartPass kiosk at the main office or in teacher's classrooms — it makes students creating passes & checking in a breeze. Plus, use ID Cards and the device camera (coming soon) or a 3rd party scanner to check-in/out.
Wait in Line
Set a max capacity for rooms (for example, only 3 students in a restroom). Students are placed in a virtual line if they have to wait, and they'll get a notification when it's their turn to leave. The queue avoids students "spam-clicking" to secure a spot and getting distracted in class.
Student Schedules
See your student's schedules directly in SmartPass. It allows for faster & more accurate pass creation, better data, and more.
Analytics
Poweful, actionable data at your fingertips to drive informed decisions and guide you in meaningful conversations, with parents, teachers and students. Get reports like pass usage over time, top frequent flyers, staff usage, analytics per-grade, and more.
Everything you need, including analytics and mission-critical safety tools.
All Standard features, plus
Missed Class Time
Get the 360-degree view of a student's time out of class. In one unified view, you'll see which classes a student has missed more often. For example, a student missed 12.2 hrs of Algebra 1 this school-year.
This type of report is only possible because SmartPass knows each student's bell schedule and classes, resulting in data you can rely on to make important decisions.
