When your school uses GoGuardian Hall Pass and GoGuardian Visitor together, student check-ins and guardian pickups can create passes as part of the same workflow. Staff with Hallway access can also see checked-in visitors and student passes in 1 place. Each product works independently. The connections below apply when your site uses both.

Connect Front Office Check-Ins to Classroom Passes

Visitor forms that include a Create Hall Pass step can create a student’s pass without front office staff writing a separate pass.
  • Student Check-In: A late arrival can create a pass from the check-in point to the student’s class. The pass starts immediately, without waiting for approval.
  • Parent/Guardian Pickup: After staff confirm the selected students, Visitor can create passes from their classes to the check-in point. If a classroom requires approval to leave, the pass waits for the teacher’s approval. Staff end the pass when the student leaves with their guardian.
Passes created this way do not count toward the student’s pass limit. Pickup passes bypass destination approval, destination and site capacity, minimum time between passes, pass limits, and time restrictions. Origin approval and out-together rules still apply.
The Visitor form must include the Create Hall Pass step. Teachers receive these passes when they’re assigned to the student’s classroom in Settings → Rooms. If Hall Pass cannot create a pass, the check-in or pickup still completes. Visitor’s Activity Log records the reason.
For form options and requirements, see Create Hall Pass. To review pass states and actions, see Review Pass Statuses.

See Visitors and Student Passes in Hallway

With both products, Hallway shows Visitors on Site above Student Passes. Staff with Hallway access can review both lists without switching products. Hallway access does not grant access to Visitor’s Front Desk, Activity Log, or screening results. Checking a visitor out or opening their full check-in record requires the appropriate Visitor permissions. See Hallway View for access requirements and actions.

Identify Where a Pass Came From

A pass created from a Visitor check-in or pickup identifies the form that created it. Staff can see that context in the pass details. Site Admins and staff assigned to the relevant check-in point can also open the associated check-in record.

Reuse Sites, Rooms, and Student Badges

Hall Pass and Visitor share sites, users, roster sync, rooms, and student badges. You can use student badges configured for your site to sign in at Hall Pass kiosks and check in or out at Visitor kiosks. Shared room assignments also affect access. Before assigning Hall Pass staff to a room registered as a Visitor check-in point, review Users and Permissions. Staff assigned to that room can access check-ins and screening results there. For shared setup details, see Use GoGuardian Visitor with Hall Pass.
