Connect Your Classroom.
Protect Your Students.
HallPass is the modern, secure classroom communication platform that puts student privacy first. Share moments, communicate with parents, and build community—without compromising data.
Your Students Deserve Better
Many classroom apps prioritize profits over privacy. Here's what they don't tell you.
Data Monetization
Some platforms collect and analyze student behavior data to build profiles that can be used for targeted advertising and sold to third parties.
Behavioral Tracking
Gamified behavior systems can create permanent digital records of children's behavior that follow them for years—often without parental knowledge.
Hidden Costs
"Free" apps often come with hidden costs: premium feature paywalls, in-app purchases, and the invisible cost of your data.
Everything You Need to Connect
HallPass gives teachers powerful tools to share, communicate, and engage—all while keeping student data safe and secure.
Classroom Stories
Share photos, videos, and updates with parents in real-time. Capture special moments and keep families connected to classroom life.
Secure Messaging
Two-way messaging between teachers and parents with real-time translation. Keep conversations organized and professional.
Classroom Calendar
Share events, field trips, holidays, and deadlines. Parents can RSVP and export to their favorite calendar app.
Student Recognition
Award points and celebrate achievements. Motivate students with positive reinforcement that builds confidence.
Photo Albums
Organize classroom photos into beautiful albums. Parents can view and download memories of their child's school year.
Supply Wishlist
Create wishlists for classroom supplies. Parents can easily see what's needed and contribute to the classroom.
Volunteer Sign-ups

One-click sign-in for 95% of US K-12 schools. Teachers log in with their existing Clever credentials—no new passwords to remember.
Google Classroom
Sign in with Google and sync your courses, students, and guardian contacts directly from Google Classroom. Parents are auto-linked.
Automatic Roster Sync
Import rosters from both Clever and Google Classroom. Districts sync school-wide via Clever; teachers sync per-course via Google. No manual data entry.
Guardian Auto-Linking
Google Classroom's Guardian API automatically connects parents to their children in HallPass. No codes, no manual setup—families are linked instantly.
Manage Your Classroom. From Your Wrist.
HallPass is the first classroom communication app with a full Apple Watch companion. No competitor in the ed-tech space has this — and once you try it, you won't go back.
Award Points Instantly
Three taps: pick a student, choose a behavior, confirm. Recognize great work without interrupting your lesson or reaching for your phone.
Hall Pass Timer
Start a hall pass with a tap. A visual countdown runs on your wrist and a haptic buzz lets you know when time is up — no more forgotten bathroom passes.
Quick Reply Messages
Read parent messages and respond with one-tap replies like "Thank you!", "Got it!", and "Will do!" Stay connected without screen time.
Upcoming Events & RSVP
See your next classroom events at a glance. Parents can RSVP and confirm volunteer spots right from their wrist.
Watch Face Complications
See unread messages, upcoming events, and class points right on your watch face. Your classroom data is always one glance away.
Built for Trust. Hardened for Production.
HallPass is built from the ground up with security and privacy as core principles—not afterthoughts. Every layer of the stack is hardened to protect your students.
AES-256 Token Encryption
All OAuth tokens and sensitive credentials encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Versioned keys with automated rotation support.
FERPA & COPPA Compliant
Full compliance with FERPA and COPPA. Student data is never monetized, profiled, or shared with third parties.
Schema-Validated Inputs
Every API request is validated against strict Zod schemas. SQL injection, XSS, and malformed data blocked at the boundary.
Zero Ads. Zero Tracking.
No ads, no tracking pixels, no behavioral profiling, no third-party analytics. Just a clean, private experience.
Row-Level Security
PostgreSQL RLS policies enforce data isolation at the database level. Teachers see only their classrooms, parents only their children.
Rate Limiting Everywhere
IP-based and email-based rate limiting on every auth, admin, and sync endpoint. Automatic lockout on abuse detection.
PII-Masked Audit Logs
Complete audit trails with automatic email and identity masking. Logs are compliant and never expose student data.
PKCE OAuth Flows
All mobile SSO uses Proof Key for Code Exchange with anti-replay nonces. Clever and Google sign-in hardened against token interception.
Teacher-Verified Parents
Parents must be approved by the classroom teacher. No strangers can access classroom content or student information.
GPG-Signed Backups
Database backups are encrypted and GPG-signed with signature verification on restore. Tamper-proof disaster recovery.
Automated Secret Scanning
Gitleaks runs on every pull request to catch leaked credentials before they reach production. Zero tolerance for exposed secrets.
Content Security Policy
Strict CSP headers, HSTS enforcement, X-Frame-Options, and referrer policies block XSS, clickjacking, and data leakage.
