Top-rated for **Likelihood to recommend**. ----- ## Overview ### Key benefits of SchoolPass Modern, per-period attendance gives teachers more instructional time and less administrative burden. Students can check in to class using a QR code, barcode, or RFID tag. Schedule and roster data are pulled from your SIS to ensure accuracy, and attendance data can automatically be sent to your SIS for academic reporting. Accurate attendance records are important for safety, funding, and accountability. Ensure that students identified as Absent Unexcused for a class can be changed to Present on Time or Tardy Excused while also saving staff time in processing changes when modifications to attendance statuses push to your student information system. You are also empowered with the information necessary to identify and intervene if students are chronically absent or late to class. Automated hall passes enhance visibility and accountability for students outside the classroom. Students can check themselves out of class to go to the restroom, nurse’s office, or other locations. You can review the frequency of when students are scanning out of class temporarily and begin to see patterns of students who may be abusing the privilege. Hall passes empower you to stop mischief and gain clarity into how students are spending time outside the classroom. With Carline, parents can automatically be identified, and students can be organized for dismissal based on the best identification method (or a combination of methods) that matches your school’s needs. Dismissal carline drivers can automatically be identified using license plates, RFID tags, or GPS. School teachers and staff use this real-time ETA-based information to dismiss students from the classroom when their ride arrives. Carlines can be 50% faster and you can be sure that every student leaves your campus with an approved driver, while dramatically reducing traffic congestion on nearby streets. The Parent App empowers parents to update student arrival, attendance, and dismissal schedules to create the school’s system-of-record for student whereabouts. All changes are integrated into the dismissal announcement sent to classrooms and teachers no longer need to guess where students are going at the end of the school day. Parents can organize pickup schedules by the day of the week. Drivers can be matched to students by dismissal session, seamlessly integrating dismissal changes into the pickup schedule. Get the right student on the right bus with bus ridership management. Changes automatically update bus manifests and are communicated to transportation staff, teachers, and the front office in real-time. Parents can receive notifications when their child boards and departs. If a child is unexpectedly absent, you’ll be immediately alerted. Manage afterschool activities online including activity attendance, with or without signature capture. Provide your activity coordinators with real-time rosters, your parents with accurate attendance notifications, and your business office with attendance reports for billing accuracy. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.7/5** | 9 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.7/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support Software | 4.4/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.2/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.6/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 90% | (9/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: SchoolPass - **Location**: Gaithersburg, US - **Founded**: 2008 ## Commercial Context - **Pricing model**: (Free Trial) - **Pricing Details**: Contact SchoolPass for pricing information. - **Target Audience**: 2–10, 11–50, 51–200, 201–500, 501–1,000, 1,001–5,000, 5,001–10,000, 10,000+ - **Deployment & Platforms**: Cloud, SaaS, Web-based, Mac (Desktop), Windows (Desktop), Android (Mobile), iPhone (Mobile), iPad (Mobile) - **Supported Languages**: English - **Available Countries**: Canada, United States ## Features - Access Controls/Permissions - Activity Dashboard - Alerts/Notifications - Attendance Tracking Software - Badge Management - Contact Management Software - Document Management Software - ID Scanning - Independent/Private - K-12 Software - Real-Time Data - Real-Time Notifications - Registration Management - Reporting & Statistics - Self Check-In/Check-Out - Time Tracking Software - Visitor Tracking - Watch List ## Integrations (5 total) - Blackbaud Student Information System - FACTS - Infinite Campus SIS - PowerSchool SIS - Veracross ## Support Options - Email/Help Desk - FAQs/Forum - Knowledge Base Software - Phone Support - Chat ## Category - [K-12 Software](https://www.getapp.ae/directory/1449/k-12/software) ## Related Categories - [K-12 Software](https://www.getapp.ae/directory/1449/k-12/software) - [Attendance Tracking Software](https://www.getapp.ae/directory/1543/attendance-tracking/software) - [Visitor Management Software](https://www.getapp.ae/directory/334/visitor-management/software) ## Alternatives 1.

Parents can update their dismissal plans without us being involved, as well as adjust for carpools and even afterschool activities or sports. Overall the UI is sleek and clear, it is not overly complicated for us or for parents to use, and they are relatively responsive around bugs or issues we are experiencing. Compared to other alternatives, we feel comfortable with maintaining it as our go-to software for managing to transfer of students during the schoolday. > > **Cons**: While SchoolPass is indispensable to our organization, it has been less responsive since its acquisition by Raptor in terms of responding to bugs or other issues. There are some difficulties around common scenarios such as splitting siblings with different dismissal plans, or occasional glitches for our teachers who are awaiting their students to pop up on the app so they can be released. > > SchoolPass is something that we use widely. From parents, to teachers, to administrators, it seems that everyone is able to learn how to utilize the app very quickly without much confusion. This is not the case for most technology we use, and SchoolPass is exceptional in that its adoption is so user-friendly for newcomers to our organization. ----- ### "SchoolPass - Noble purpose with unrealized potential" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *21 March 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked that the overall concept is good. The ideas presented and the problems that SchoolPass is setting out to solve are problems that need a solution. Ultimately using SchoolPass is still probably better than keeping track of everything manually, but the system has so much more potential and capacity to be truly good. > > **Cons**: There are many details that are either intentional choices or have been left unresolved that make the overall experience hard to enjoy, especially in the light of how expensive the product is. They give the admins a surprisingly limited amount of customization options and force you to reach out to reps if you want to toggle certain options on or off or make things required or not. It would benefit both parties to simply provide all of the available options to the admin user and then train them once on how to use them rather than forcing so many contacts to customize the product. Portions of the product were also simply oversold - specifically its ability to integrate with certain SIS programs. The app itself also struggles to keep up with changing iPad technology and crashes more frequently than I'd expect it to. There are many details about areas such as dismissal queue, parent notifications, and reporting that don't always make a lot of sense such as the dismissal queue forcing you to add students to it even when the SchoolPass software is aware that they are absent for the day or left early. Currently, the browser interface for the product is a bit on the inconvenient side. There is an older and newer "view" for the browser interface. Much of the functionality of the program has been migrated over to the newer view, however not all of it has. Knowing which view to use for what you'd want to accomplish can create a lot of searching for the right options. > > While ultimately the product is probably better than doing things manually, I wouldn't say it has saved us much in the way of time or work, but simply shifted the same amount of work to something that is more trackable and reportable, which, while beneficial, isn't the entirety of what we were expecting from the product . I do think if there is more development work put into it, that SchoolPass' quality will be more fully realized at some point in the future, which is my hope. While I have only dealt with primarily one rep, he does seem willing to help, it's just that for many of these details or issues there aren't really answers to provide or solutions to offer. It simply is the way that it is and we have to work with it. I do think this is a very expensive SAAS offering for what it does currently. If you're considering using it, I'd definitely make sure that the SIS you use is FULLY supported and weigh the cost vs time savings here because so far for us, I'm not confident in saying that the time savings/workflow optimization has been realized enough to justify the cost of the product. I'm cautiously hopeful that as the product is developed that balance will be achieved. ----- ### "Better communication and safety" — 5.0/5 > **alifah** | *13 August 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the best way to have communication between school and families. And allowing parents to be involved in their child/ren's life at school. > > **Cons**: It is not something all school can afford and can therefore not be implanted in many schools. The cons with having SchoolPass is that sometimes the system can be down. > > Really enjoy using it, as we have seen a difference in the schools relationship with families. As well as monitoring those who are coming in and out of the building with is VERY important when it comes to keeping children safe. ----- ### "One Size Fits All K-12 Emergency Management Solution" — 5.0/5 > **Alana** | *17 May 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how you can see all students, teachers, staff, and visitors inside the building in one time for any emergencies. > > **Cons**: I would like to be able to do more on my own. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ae/software/116275/schoolpass?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ae/software/116275/schoolpass) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
