SmartPass Roll Out
Dear Intermediate High School Families
Beginning on January 1th we will begin using the digital hall pass system SmartPass. Teachers will show the students how to log into the system to create passes that week and we will begin to implement the new system that week. SmartPass is a digital hall pass system that replaces traditional hall passes such as sign-out sheets, wooden blocks, passbooks, and lanyards.
It provides administrators an accounting of which students are outside of the classroom during the school day. In case of emergencies such as fires, severe weather, or building intruders, administrators have real-time access to this critical information. Overall, the pass history of a student will lead to more effective and informative parent-teacher conferences, as well as ensuring students are where they should be - in the classroom learning.
During COVID-19, it helps our school go contact-free by eliminating common touch surfaces such as wooden blocks, shared paper sign out sheets, pencils, etc. It also can automatically limit the number of students in the bathroom with minimal intrusion to class instruction. Plus, it can perform contact tracing to get a list of students that were in the room at the same time as another student.
Students and staff can access SmartPass from their school-provided device at www.smartpass.app/login.
For more information, please visit the vendor’s website at www.smartpass.app.
Sincerely,
Mr. Maloney
Important Reminders
- Hats, Hoodies, sunglasses and full-face masks are not permitted in school. This is a requirement that is found in the Student Code of Conduct on page. 29. Students are not permitted to wear these items for safety reasons. Please be aware that students will be reminded to remove these items if they are found wearing them. We are asking all staff to speak with students about the importance of compliance. In the event, that students refuse to remove these items, they will be referred to an administrator. Parents, you will be notified if this occurs.
Adopt -a- Coatesville Teacher
This community-led program was created four years ago, in an effort to support the teachers and staff here at Coatesville Area School District. The purpose is to be an extra encouragement to those individuals we adopt as well as inspire the community to be more involved within our schools.
