Hāpara Hall Pass: Overview and getting started Follow

Hāpara Hall Pass helps schools manage students leaving and returning to class. Students can request a pass when the school enables that option, or staff can create one for them. A pass records the destination, timing and status. What each person can see and do depends on their assigned role and the school's settings.

How Hall Pass works

1. A student requests a pass, or a staff member creates one for them.
2. If the pass needs approval, it stays Pending until the assigned staff member approves or denies it. Some passes are approved automatically.
3. Once approved, the pass becomes Active and a timer starts. Students should check the status and follow the school's routine before leaving.
4. For a Round-trip journey, end the pass when the student returns. Follow the school's agreed handover and completion process for a One-way journey.
5. Review previous passes in History, within the access provided by your role.

Plan a visit in advance

Teachers and staff can schedule a future pass when an administrator enables scheduling for its pass type. Students can schedule their own passes when student scheduling is enabled. Scheduled requests still require approval when the destination requires it; a future request is not permission to leave now. See Schedule passes in advance in Hāpara Hall Pass.

Shared kiosks support changing classes and optional active-pass cards for recording returns. See Set up and use Kiosk Mode.

Access and school settings

Teachers and staff can see the school's active-pass count. The count does not provide school-wide access to named students or pass details. See Hall Pass roles and permissions.

If you cannot see Hall Pass, ask your school IT administrator to check whether it is enabled and whether your account has the appropriate access.
