Hall Passes in the Mobile App (Students and Parents)

Updated on

Students can use the mobile app to create a hall pass (if students have permission to create hall passes), and to view their currently active hall pass. Inactive hall passes can also be viewed.

Parents can view the hall passes their students have been issued for the current date from the mobile app.

See Hall Passes for more information on using the Hall Passes functionality in Focus.
