Hall Pass Rules and Guidelines
When using eHallPass, it’s important to follow any rules and guidelines set by your school. This ensures proper use of the system. Here are some general hall pass guidelines:
- Only request a hall pass when you have a valid reason to leave the classroom
- Do not wander or stop at other locations outside of your approved destination
- Take the most direct route to your destination and back
- Do not request passes to meet up with friends or skip class
- Return to class promptly before your pass expires
- Do not spam pass requests if a teacher denies your request
- Report any glitches or issues with eHallpass to a teacher
Misuse of hall passes or the eHallpass system may result in disciplinary action per your school’s rules.
Hall Pass Status and Notifications
After requesting a pass, you will see it appear in your “Pending Passes” section. This means it is awaiting approval from a teacher.
Once approved, the pass will move to “Approved Passes” where you can view details and the expiration time. You will also receive a notification alerting you that your pass was approved.
If your requested pass is denied, you will get a notification explaining why. Passes may be denied if teachers feel the request was invalid or misused. Do not repeatedly request the same pass if denied.
While your pass is approved and active, the system will track your status and send alerts when your pass is about to expire. This helps you safely return to class on time.
Student Privacy and Hall Passes
eHallpass prioritizes student privacy and safety. The system provides oversight without unnecessarily tracking student locations or personal information.
Here are some key student privacy features:
- Pass requests only show student name and ID number, no other personal details
- Teacher notifications only indicate student name and type of pass requested
- Pass details and requests cannot be viewed by other students
- Location tracking only occurs directly between classroom and stated destination
If you have any concerns about privacy, speak with your school administrators about proper eHallpass use. Any potential misuse or overreach regarding student monitoring would go against eHallpass policies.
