SMARTPASS DIGITAL HALL PASS SYSTEM

"I absolutely love the data and accountability SmartPass provides. It is simple to use and does not interrupt class time. Knowing kids' patterns is extremely helpful feedback. If anything were to go wrong in an area of the building, having this data is invaluable. It allows for concrete conversations with 'frequent flyers.' Kids have been more timely in their bathroom trips and ask less often. A hearty YES from me!"

"With SmartPass, I think that kids feel more accountable for the time that they spend out of the classroom and therefore ask to use the restroom a little less frequently. I like that we can keep track of when students are leaving, not only from our classes, but also from other teachers' classrooms. I think that the data collection is informative to teachers and admins. The transparency of this data makes the school feel safer."

“SmartPass is more than a digital hall pass tool. It’s a student accountability system that has transformed our school and helps keep students where they are supposed to be—in class. There are very few programs that everyone is adamant about keeping, whether it’s because of budget cuts or problems with the tool. However, there’s never a question around SmartPass because we need it.”

“SmartPass has been one of the most impactful investments we've made in the last five years here at Berlin High School. We don't see the hallway wanderers anymore. If you walk into a bathroom, you don't see a mob of ten kids standing in there and hanging out or vaping or doing other things they shouldn't be doing in a bathroom. The biggest difference for us is that you just see fewer students where they shouldn't be and more students where they should be, which is the classroom.”

“The reality was, our paper system was broken. Teachers were losing valuable time writing passes, and we had no real data on where students were or how long they were out. We needed something better. ... The data SmartPass provides is invaluable. For the first time, we have full visibility into which students are out of class and for how long, allowing us to identify and solve problems quickly.”

“Our teachers have been able to use data from student passes to have constructive conversations about the amount of in-class engagement with their students. Our admin team has been able to use the data to help spot trends on student movement, allowing us to relocate hallway supports. Our hall monitors are able to report students, allowing meaningful behavioral conversations between students and administrators.”
