Hall Passes

Updated on

The Hall Passes screen allows students and parents to view past, current, and future hall passes for the student. If your school allows students to request hall passes, students may also create hall passes from this screen. Hall passes for certain locations may require approval by a teacher or administrator, while other locations may be automatically approved.

See Hall Passes in the Mobile App (Students and Parents) for information on using the Hall Passes functionality in the mobile app.
