The Student Hall Pass Report accessible from Student Info contains two tabs, Hall Pass Activity and Student Restrictions. The Hall Pass Activity tab allows users to view hall pass activity in a specified date range for an individual student. The Student Restrictions tab is used to set restrictions on the individual student, including passes per day, restricted students, and restricted locations. Hall passes can also be created for the student from this screen.
Clicking the student's name link on the Hall Passes screen also opens the Student Hall Pass Report screen for the student.
The Hall Pass Activity tab provides an overview of the student's hall pass usage during a specified date range, which defaults to the current school year. At the top of the report, the number of Passes Over Time Limit, the Passes Created, and the Time Spent Out of Class is displayed for the defined date range. The Time Spent Out of Class is calculated as the total number of minutes the student has spent out of class during the date range.
