SmartPass Flex is an extension of the SmartPass product line, integrating activity participation and hall pass history in one place for a complete view of student movement and engagement. Ideal for schools with or without designated flex periods, it supports a range of needs, from make-up tests and enrichment to interventions and extracurricular activities. By simplifying planning and participation, SmartPass Flex benefits teachers, administrators and students alike.

It is an impactful product supporting student accountability and safety throughout the school day.”

Adapting to Every School’s Schedule and Safety Needs

For administrators, SmartPass Flex provides a real-time snapshot of student activities, streamlines attendance tracking, and delivers actionable data to drive improvements in school safety and operational efficiency.

Key benefits of SmartPass Flex include:

• Flexible Scheduling: Create and organize activities before, during, or after school.
