About SchoolPass

SchoolPass Attendance & Hall Pass Management gives you the power to increase student accountability and safety. Modern, per-period attendance gives teachers more instructional time and less administrative burden. Students check in to class using a QR code, barcode, or RFID tag. Schedule and roster data are pulled from your SIS to ensure accuracy, and attendance data can automatically be sent to your SIS for academic reporting. Automated hall passes enhance visibility and accountability for students outside the classroom. Students can check themselves out of class to go to the restroom, nurse’s office, or other locations. You can review the frequency of when students are scanning out of class temporarily and begin to see patterns of students who may be abusing the privilege. You get school-wide insight into who is on campus and where they were last located.

SchoolPass Dismissal Management gives you the power to dismiss students safer, faster, and more efficiently. With our patented carline automation technology, dismissal carline drivers can automatically be identified using license plates, RFID tags, or GPS. School teachers and staff use this real-time ETA-based information to dismiss students from the classroom when their ride arrives, to board the bus, or attend after-school activities. Carlines can be 50% faster and you can ensure that every student leaves campus with an approved driver, while dramatically reducing traffic congestion on nearby streets. The parent app seamlessly integrates dismissal changes into the pickup schedule. All changes are integrated into the announcement sent to classrooms, so teachers no longer need to guess where students are going at the end of school. Get the right student on the right bus with bus ridership management and keep parents updated with notifications when their child boards the bus and departs.


Key benefits of SchoolPass

Modern, per-period attendance gives teachers more instructional time and less administrative burden. Students can check in to class using a QR code, barcode, or RFID tag. Schedule and roster data are pulled from your SIS to ensure accuracy, and attendance data can automatically be sent to your SIS for academic reporting.

Accurate attendance records are important for safety, funding, and accountability. Ensure that students identified as Absent Unexcused for a class can be changed to Present on Time or Tardy Excused while also saving staff time in processing changes when modifications to attendance statuses push to your student information system. You are also empowered with the information necessary to identify and intervene if students are chronically absent or late to class.

Automated hall passes enhance visibility and accountability for students outside the classroom. Students can check themselves out of class to go to the restroom, nurse’s office, or other locations. You can review the frequency of when students are scanning out of class temporarily and begin to see patterns of students who may be abusing the privilege. Hall passes empower you to stop mischief and gain clarity into how students are spending time outside the classroom.

With Carline, parents can automatically be identified, and students can be organized for dismissal based on the best identification method (or a combination of methods) that matches your school’s needs.

Dismissal carline drivers can automatically be identified using license plates, RFID tags, or GPS. School teachers and staff use this real-time ETA-based information to dismiss students from the classroom when their ride arrives. Carlines can be 50% faster and you can be sure that every student leaves your campus with an approved driver, while dramatically reducing traffic congestion on nearby streets.

The Parent App empowers parents to update student arrival, attendance, and dismissal schedules to create the school’s system-of-record for student whereabouts. All changes are integrated into the dismissal announcement sent to classrooms and teachers no longer need to guess where students are going at the end of the school day.

Parents can organize pickup schedules by the day of the week. Drivers can be matched to students by dismissal session, seamlessly integrating dismissal changes into the pickup schedule.

Get the right student on the right bus with bus ridership management. Changes automatically update bus manifests and are communicated to transportation staff, teachers, and the front office in real-time. Parents can receive notifications when their child boards and departs. If a child is unexpectedly absent, you’ll be immediately alerted.

Manage afterschool activities online including activity attendance, with or without signature capture. Provide your activity coordinators with real-time rosters, your parents with accurate attendance notifications, and your business office with attendance reports for billing accuracy.

SchoolPass - Noble purpose with unrealized potential

While ultimately the product is probably better than doing things manually, I wouldn't say it has saved us much in the way of time or work, but simply shifted the same amount of work to something that is more trackable and reportable, which, while beneficial, isn't the entirety of what we were expecting from the product . I do think if there is more development work put into it, that SchoolPass' quality will be more fully realized at some point in the future, which is my hope. While I have only dealt with primarily one rep, he does seem willing to help, it's just that for many of these details or issues there aren't really answers to provide or solutions to offer. It simply is the way that it is and we have to work with it. I do think this is a very expensive SAAS offering for what it does currently. If you're considering using it, I'd definitely make sure that the SIS you use is FULLY supported and weigh the cost vs time savings here because so far for us, I'm not confident in saying that the time savings/workflow optimization has been realized enough to justify the cost of the product. I'm cautiously hopeful that as the product is developed that balance will be achieved.

Pros

I liked that the overall concept is good. The ideas presented and the problems that SchoolPass is setting out to solve are problems that need a solution. Ultimately using SchoolPass is still probably better than keeping track of everything manually, but the system has so much more potential and capacity to be truly good.

Cons

There are many details that are either intentional choices or have been left unresolved that make the overall experience hard to enjoy, especially in the light of how expensive the product is. They give the admins a surprisingly limited amount of customization options and force you to reach out to reps if you want to toggle certain options on or off or make things required or not. It would benefit both parties to simply provide all of the available options to the admin user and then train them once on how to use them rather than forcing so many contacts to customize the product. Portions of the product were also simply oversold - specifically its ability to integrate with certain SIS programs. The app itself also struggles to keep up with changing iPad technology and crashes more frequently than I'd expect it to. There are many details about areas such as dismissal queue, parent notifications, and reporting that don't always make a lot of sense such as the dismissal queue forcing you to add students to it even when the SchoolPass software is aware that they are absent for the day or left early. Currently, the browser interface for the product is a bit on the inconvenient side. There is an older and newer "view" for the browser interface. Much of the functionality of the program has been migrated over to the newer view, however not all of it has. Knowing which view to use for what you'd want to accomplish can create a lot of searching for the right options.

Best carpool and security software on the market

We employed 2 employees to listen to carpool change messages all day long. After installing the SchoolPass system, we cut this to 1 employee performing carpool a total of 15 minutes a day. Dismissal is more quiet and organized and makes the end of day carpool a much more efficient and enjoyable experience.

Pros

There is no carpool scheduling software on the market that can compare to SchoolPass. It is the most robust and easy to use software available for schools in regards to carpool scheduling. The company goes above and beyond to assist the school in setting up the system. Integration with cameras and tolltag readers also make it a great security asset for any school. No other company compares to the SchoolPass technology and the company that stands behind it.

Cons

There are no negatives to this software solution.

SchoolPass gave us easy access to dismissal information that any employee can look up. We are much more organized during the day preparing for dismissal rather than frantically dealing with late in the day changes by parents calling in. Parents make their own changes ... huge time saver for us.

Thank you SchoolPass.

Pros

The dismissal function is great but this app places the responsibility on the parent to manage their kid's dismissal and after school activities. This relieved our front office of at least 4 hours a day to do other things.

Cons

I would love to have greater super admin function at the customer level but SchoolPass is very responsive so this is not a deal breaker. Their customer support more than makes up for this small inconvenience.
