Campus Hall Pass System Is Now Active
Campus Hall Pass is a digital system that manages hall passes and prevents unauthorized meetups. It helps increase school safety and student accountability.
Is It Secure? We prioritize data privacy and strictly protect school and student information—no GPS tracking or individual student monitoring. Students will continue using the restroom lanyard from classrooms, without bringing iPads or phones into restrooms.
What are the Benefits?
· Fewer disruptions allow teachers to focus on teaching, maximizing learning time for students.
· Students can access restrooms of their choice but should do so promptly.
· Identifies students who are outside of the classroom during emergencies.
