1. Now vs. Future
Teachers can create Passes for Students by making a Pass for Now or a Pass for the Future. If a Teacher wants a Student to have a Pass for right now, then he or she would select Now button from the Create Pass section. If a Teacher wants a Student to have a Scheduled Pass for the future, then he or she would click the Future button in the same area. For more information on the specifics of a Pass for the Future, look here.
Now: When a Teacher sends a Pass for Now, the Pass is automatically sent to the Student(s) and it automatically starts.
Future: When a Teacher sends a Pass for the Future, the Pass can either be sent as a Pass Request or as a Scheduled Pass. Learn more about declineability below.
2. Select Student(s)
Teachers have to input the Student(s) to whom they want to send a Pass. Teachers can search all the Students' names in the school and then select from the search results. Teachers may send multiple Passes to multiple Students.
Student Groups
Instead of selecting individual Students, Teachers can create Student Groups that allow them to selected several Students with one click. Learn more about Student Groups here.
3. From where?
Teachers then select the Room the Student(s) are currently in. Teachers can search all the Rooms in the school or select from a list. To make this process quicker, Teachers can customize favorites in Settings.
4. To where?
Teachers then select the Room to which they want the Student(s) to go. Administrators customize this list of Rooms in the Room set up. In addition, any Rooms a Teacher is assigned to will show up first in the listing.
5. Travel Type & Duration
Teachers select the travel type of the Pass and the Pass duration. Administrators customize both in the Room set up.
Travel type: This indicates whether it is a round-trip Pass or a one-way Pass. For example, a Pass to the Bathroom would be round-trip, since a Student is going to the Bathroom and then coming back to class.
Duration: This indicates the maximum time the Teacher expects the Student(s) to need the Pass.
