Madison, Wis. – Aug. 13, 2025 – Singlewire Software, the leader in solutions that help keep people safe and informed, announces the launch of Hall Manager as part of its Visitor Aware platform. Hall Manager will enable schools to implement a digital hall pass solution for students with flexible options to excuse students from class, while being able to account for their whereabouts. Teachers and administrators will have the insights they need to know where students are and eliminate the need for outdated and unreliable student excusal methods.
“The current hall pass process is disruptive to classroom instruction and provides little to no insight into where students are,” said Joanna Haugland, chief product officer for Visitor Aware. “Hall Manager offers a modern solution for schools to automate the hall pass process while providing valuable insights like missed instructional time and being able to see exactly where students are permitted to go and for how long.”
With Hall Manager, schools have three ways to excuse students from class:
- Students request to be excused from their personal devices and are automatically granted permission to leave
- Classrooms set up a dedicated device, like an iPad or Chromebook that students can use to get a digital hall pass
- Teachers can grant permission through their portal
When hall passes are granted, it records:
- Where the student is permitted to go
- How long they are permitted to be excused
Teachers can also set up restrictions to prevent students from leaving at the same time to minimize potential disruptions outside of class.
“Student safety is dependent on school staff being able to account for each student,” said Terry Swanson, president and CEO of Singlewire Software. “By implementing Hall manager, schools are eliminating another potential blind spot to help know where every student is.”
Hall Manager adds to the Visitor Aware suite of products, which includes solutions for visitor management, safety drills, school dismissal, and school bus management. To learn more about everything Visitor Aware has to offer, visit www.singlewire.com/visitor-aware.
