Pass › FAQs
Can I prevent a student from sending Pass requests to certain teachers?
No. Pass cannot restrict one specific student to only the teachers on that student's class roster, or prevent one specific student from selecting one specific teacher.
The teacher profile setting is not student-specific
The teacher's “Do you want adults and students to be able to create passes to/from you?” profile setting is an all-or-nothing control for that adult. If the teacher turns it off, the teacher is removed as a pass option for all students and adults—not only students who are outside the teacher's classes.
Use that setting only when the teacher should not receive passes to or from any student. It is not a way to enforce student-to-teacher class relationships.
Other Pass limits do not change teacher selection
- Contact Control prevents selected pairs of students from being out on passes at the same time. It does not control which teacher a student can select.
- Limit Location Availability restricts selected destination locations for a student. It does not restrict an individual teacher.
- Daily, weekly, and monthly pass limits control how many passes a student can create. They do not control which teacher receives a request.
Teacher approval and PINs
A student-created pass request still waits for teacher approval before the student has permission to leave. An adult's profile PIN can be used to approve or end a pass from a student's device, but the PIN workflow does not prevent the student from submitting the request to that adult. The current Pass documentation does not describe a school-wide setting that forces a teacher PIN for every submitted request.
Available options
- If an adult should never receive passes to or from students, turn off that adult's Passes to/from you profile setting.
- Otherwise, teachers should approve or deny student-created requests according to the school's pass procedures.
- Use Pass limits when the goal is to control pass frequency, destination locations, or pairs of students—not teacher roster relationships.
