Prevent Unwanted Meetups
Stop frequent meetups in hallways & bathrooms with “No Party Groups”
Unwanted behaviors such as violence, vandalism, and vaping in high school can be swiftly addressed through hall pass management. The “No Party Groups” feature is designed to proactively prevent these unwanted meetups. Put anyone you’d like in a “No Party Group”, and when any member of that group has an active hall pass, no other members of that group will be able to create or be given their hall pass.
Stop certain students from being in the hallway together
Prevent unwanted hallway and bathroom meet-ups
Take proactive steps to encourage positive student behavior
Report on all denied hall passes to assess how many potential issues have been prevented
Automatically synchronize student, staff, and classroom rosters with your Student Information System.

“Hallway traffic is down — we credit that to using Minga to its fullest potential. We’re able to restrict passes. We notice a group of kids always getting together, so we add them to the No Party Group list.”

FAQs on Digital Hall Passes
Never. Minga Hall passes only reports when a student checks out of class, and back in. We do not physically track students’ whereabouts, ever.
Both! We are compatible with all laptops, including Chromebooks, and we also offer a dedicated app available on both mobile phones and tablets through app stores.
No, students can use their 1-1 device, such as a Chromebook, computer, or tablet, to create a hall pass. Additionally, they do not need to carry their device while moving through the halls. Once the hall pass is approved, it can be tracked through the dashboard, showing details like the type of pass, remaining time, and the assigned student.
If your school doesn’t have one-to-one devices, you have two options:
- Teacher-Led Workflow: Teachers can create hall passes for students using their computer. This method ensures that passes are managed and issued directly by the staff.
- Kiosk Mode: You can set up a secure kiosk mode, ideal for allowing students to create their own passes. By placing a Chromebook, iPad, or any web-enabled device in a common area, students can easily generate hall passes. Teachers can still issue passes as needed, and hall monitors can verify them.
You can also combine both options, enabling teachers to create passes when necessary while students use the kiosk for more autonomy.
Yes, it can! We offer a feature called the “no-party group.” This feature enables you to create groups of students who are not permitted to have a hall pass at the same time. We also supply a report on all denied hall passes to assess how many potential issues have been prevented
If a school would like to specifically restrict the number of restroom passes a student may have, i.e 3 per day, but wishes the student to have up to 5 passes a day overall so they can use the other two for other purposes. They would set the overall limits in settings higher, then would use this setting to restrict the pass type separately.
Digital hall passes can enhance student safety by providing real-time monitoring and accountability, which helps in curbing issues like violence, vaping, and loitering in the hallways as well as areas like bathrooms. By monitoring student movement more efficiently, schools can react fast to issues and use historical data on hall pass usage to make places like bathrooms safer for everyone.
Schools can disable the entire hall pass solution to restrict hallway access, blocking any new hall passes from being created.
We offer several options for creating a digital hall pass to suit different classroom needs:
- Student-Created: Students can create their own hall passes, which minimizes classroom distractions and interruptions. This is our recommended best practice.
- Student-Created & Teacher-Approved: In this option, students create the hall pass, but the teacher needs to approve it before it becomes valid.
- Teacher-Created: The teacher creates the hall pass in their dashboard upon a student’s request.
- Staff-Created with Staff Approval: Staff members create the hall pass and it requires approval from another staff member.
These options provide flexibility to accommodate the unique needs of each classroom and ensure a smooth and efficient process for managing hall passes.
Funny you should ask. Check out how we compare to SmartPass and e-hallpass.
