Paper passes don't scale
A student asks to go to the restroom. The teacher scribbles a pass. Nobody knows how long they've been gone. Another teacher sends a student to the office at the same time — now there are two students in the hallway and no one tracking either.
Third-party apps solve this but cost $3-5 per student per year and require yet another login system. That's $1,500-2,500 for a 500-student school, annually.

This replaces paper — not PowerSchool
Hall Pass stores pass records in PowerSchool's own database using custom tables. It uses PowerSchool's built-in authentication so students and teachers don't need another login. Your IT team controls installation, permissions, and removal through Plugin Management.
Built for district approval

No external data transfer — all pass records stored in PowerSchool's database

PowerSchool authentication — no separate accounts, passwords, or student emails needed

Role-based access — teachers see their passes, admins see school-wide, students see only their own

ALSDE format compliant — same plugin structure used by state-deployed plugins

District IT controlled — install, configure, and remove through Plugin Management

No per-student cost — replaces $3-5/student/year SaaS tools at zero ongoing cost

Want to see it in your school?

We work directly with your IT team. No cost for the pilot. Fully removable at any time.
