YORK, June 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
SmartPass, the leading digital hall pass solution for K–12 schools,
has announced an update to its Schedules capabilities, enabling
schools to gain a comprehensive view of student locations
throughout the building. This new update furthers SmartPass's
commitment to helping educators maximize instructional time, reduce
logistical tasks like pass creation, and enhance safety—ultimately
improving student outcomes.
"The schedules feature in SmartPass has
been a game-changer for our school. It integrates our bell schedule
into the pass creation process, making it incredibly easy for
teachers and staff to create passes. This has increased our
efficiency and reduced the time spent on administrative
tasks."
The new Schedules capabilities enable school administrators to
integrate school bell schedules and class rosters directly into the
SmartPass platform. This allows schools with even the most complex
schedules to get a full view of student activities and school
operations in the building.
SmartPass supports all types of school schedules, such as
- Rotating schedules
- Block schedules
- Letter day schedules
Before Schedules, SmartPass customers only knew where a student
was if they had an active pass. Now, their bell schedules and
classes will show up in SmartPass, giving educators more visibility
than ever of what's happening in their schools.
Peter Luba, CEO of SmartPass, emphasized the importance of
customer feedback in developing this feature: "One of our guiding
principles at SmartPass is to only create products and features
that our customers want, not what we think they need. Customer
requests drove this most recent update, and we're proud to deliver
a solution that enhances visibility and safety in schools."
Key Benefits for Schools
- Student Visibility: Educators and staff can instantly know
where each student is supposed to be according to their
schedule.
- Early Intervention for Positive Student Outcomes: By knowing
students' locations, schools can quickly intervene when students
consistently miss class or engage in unsafe behavior.
- Privacy Protection: SmartPass does not track student locations
or use GPS. It is compliant with FERPA, COPPA, CSPC, SDPC, NY 2-D,
and SOPPA.
With the Schedules update, front office staff can search for any
student, see their current class, any active pass, and send a pass
request to the student—a faster and less disruptive way to get
students where they need to be.
Teachers can have their current class roster on their home
screen, allowing them to quickly create passes.
Jenny Karr, Technology
Integration Specialist with the Manhattan-Ogden School District
shares how SmartPass is making things easier for both students and
teachers. "The schedules feature in SmartPass has been a
game-changer for our school. It seamlessly integrates our bell
schedule into the pass creation process, making it incredibly easy
for teachers and staff to create passes at specific points of the
day. This has increased our efficiency and reduced the time spent
on administrative tasks."
Karr continues, "The ability to have class rosters pre-populated
based on the time of day has been incredibly helpful. It ensures
accuracy and reduces errors in pass creation. Teachers and staff
can trust that the right students are being accounted for and can
focus on their core responsibilities."
