No. For student safety and emergency purposes, the system does not allow administrators to completely block a teacher's ability to create a pass for a specific student.
However, you can influence student behavior and teacher decisions by implementing Pass Limits.
How to Manage Student Movement
To restrict how often a student moves throughout the building, you can set specific limits within the administrative dashboard.
Daily Pass Limits: Set a maximum number of passes a student can use per day (this can be set to 0).
Active Pass Limits: Prevent students from having multiple active passes simultaneously, or entirely block hallway movement.
Location Availability: Restrict or grant access to students from visiting specific areas of the building.
Contact Controls: Prevent specific pairs of students from being in the hallway at the same time.
Location Max Caps: Set a maximum capacity for specific rooms to prevent overcrowding.
Important Considerations for Limits
When implementing these restrictions, please keep the following system behaviors in mind:
Teacher Pass: Passes created by a teacher do not count against a student’s daily limit.
Teacher Overrides: Teachers always have the authority to override a student's limit for emergencies or special circumstances.
How the Override Works
If a student has reached their limit (e.g., their limit is set to zero), the teacher will see a notification stating the limit has been reached. At this point, the teacher has two options:
Grant the Pass: Override the limit and allow the student to leave.
Deny the Pass: Keep the student in class.
Pro Tip: Encourage teachers to use the Comments section when overriding a limit to document the reason for the exception.
