See what kinds of questions to ask when considering SmartPass and other vendors, such as Infinite Campus.
SmartPass is a purpose-built platform used by over 4,000 K–12 schools. It gives educators the tools they need to control hallway traffic, track missed class time, and prevent student meetups. With features like Wait in Line, SmartPass removes the guesswork of who’s next.
See how SmartPass reduces interruptions and streamlines hallway management, all with no student cell phones required.

Are there any limits to the location set up? For example, can you set up the system by room, hallway, and pass type?
How easy is it to use the system for events or activities?
Do you have options when it comes to pass approvals? For example, can you make some destinations have an optional teacher approval, like the nurse?
Is there an option for kiosk mode so students don’t need to use 1:1 devices?
Can students queue virtually until space opens up?
Is there a way to detect and block student meetups?
Is there a way to pause all passes instantly across campus in case of an emergency?
What reports are available to track missed class time? Can you run reports by student and by schedule?

We’ve heard it again and again: “It just works.” From implementation to daily use, SmartPass was designed to make things easier—not just possible.
If you need a system that gives staff better control, students less room to wander, and administrators clearer insights into missed instructional time, SmartPass is built for exactly that. One tech leader recently convinced their entire district to choose SmartPass over another vendor.
Here’s what sealed the decision:
Saves teacher time:
Passes are auto-approved unless a limit is hit—no need for teachers or subs to manage approvals.
Fast to launch:
Student rosters and photos were imported quickly via Classlink; training happened in days.
Ready now:
No need to wait for badge scanners or future updates—SmartPass worked immediately.
Proven in peer districts:
Principals in similar districts were already using it—and loving it.
“If I put a program that looks antiquated in front of my staff, it will make my job and theirs harder. This is something I wanted to function right out of the box.”
SmartPass helps schools reduce distruptions, increase seat time, and improve hallway accountability. We'll show you exactly how it compares-and how fast you can get started.
