Vaping is a growing epidemic among K-12 school students nationwide, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult for schools to contain the problem due to students’ ability to conceal small vape devices. For administrators, this means that students could be using vape devices anywhere on campus—including bathrooms and classrooms during hall pass use—without their knowledge.
This not only creates a health risk but can also lead to disciplinary problems if students are not accounted for during class time or passing periods.
Gain insight to student hall pass use
Raptor helps to solve this issue by providing digital hall passes that allow teachers and administrators to monitor student movement patterns throughout the school day.
Raptor SchoolPass Hall Pass Management replaces paper hall passes with an app-based system that allows teachers and administrators to monitor student movement on campus with automated per-period attendance and digital hall passes for students temporarily leaving the classroom. Teachers, front office staff, and administrators get real-time, school-wide insight into who is on campus and where they were last located.
Utilizing intuitive technologies such as QR codes, barcodes, and RFID tags to track students’ real-time movements between classes, restrooms, the guidance office, or anywhere else in the school allows for effective management of missed instructional time—and discourages any abuse of privileges when temporarily leaving the classroom or campus.
Automating per-period classroom attendance and using digital hall passes provides several advantages over traditional attendance taking and paper passes, such as:
- Teachers and administrators can easily see how much time students are spending outside of class. Missed instruction time is a lead indicator a student may be participating in risky and unsafe behavior.
- Accurate and real-time data on unexcused absences, class tardies, and time out of class are tallied to show patterns of behavior, helping administrators determine with confidence which students may need an intervention.
- Minimizing the administrative burden of taking attendance and issuing hall passes allows teachers to focus on teaching and learning.
- Having data to demonstrate potential hall pass privilege abuse and time out of class helps administrators have more productive conversations with students as well as parents/guardians.
- Integrations ensure your SIS remains the system of record for class schedules, rosters, and attendance reporting.
Beyond addressing the immediate challenge of combating vaping in schools, Raptor SchoolPass Hall Pass Management contributes to the overall wellbeing of students. This proactive approach fosters an environment where students can focus on their education and personal growth without the distractions and dangers associated with substance abuse.
