How SmartPass Stacks Up

See what kinds of questions to ask when considering SmartPass and other vendors, such as Minga.

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. 

In SmartPass, every room or destination on your campus is unique. A student doesn't just sign out for the restroom—they sign out for RR230. This allows for room limits that work and helps your hall monitors know exactly where students are supposed to be.

See how SmartPass gives staff better control, students less room to wander, and administrators clearer insights into missed instructional time.
