Dear Freedom High School Community,
Freedom High School is committed to providing our students with a safe and secure learning environment. This school year has presented us with new challenges, and we have seen a need to re-examine some of our practices. Freedom High School will be transitioning to using e-hallpass to continue improving the safety and security of our campus while minimizing disruptions to the learning environment. This decision is in alignment with Commitment #2 of the PWCS Vision 2025 Launching Thriving Futures Strategic Plan.
E-hallpass is an online platform that allows Freedom High School staff to issue hallway passes to students while also monitoring the activity in the school’s hallways. Students are able to access the e-hallpass platform through their school-issued device using any web browser. Students may request a pass to leave the classroom or an appointment with a staff member (counselor, administrator, clinic, sports team departures, etc.). Staff are able to automatically approve the passes quickly with limited impact on the instruction of the classroom. Student devices will be left in the classroom with their teacher for all round trip passes such as restrooms, water fountain, etc. E-hallpass allows staff to monitor hallway traffic, set limits for the number of students at specific locations, and limit the number of hall passes created at a given time. A timer tracks how long a student is out of the classroom and can be monitored by our security team. Staff can receive alerts for students who have not checked in to their final destination or have exceeded the time limit of a pass, improving school safety and security while minimizing the disruption to learning in our classrooms.
All Freedom High School students will view an initial overview video of the e-hallpass system in their Flex Period on February 14th. Additionally, students will be trained on e-hallpass in their 2nd block classes to set up their dashboards and practice using the system on Friday, February 21th, 2023, and usage will begin. Beginning February 22th all staff and students will be using the e-hallpass system for their pass needs.
