When your child’s school uses GatePass, you get a quiet notification the second they scan in at the gate — plus sent-home notices and boarding confirmations. One free app, your phone number, no password.

Everything a parent actually wants to know — and nothing they don’t.
A notification the moment your child scans in at the gate — name, school, time. No more wondering if they got there.
If your child is sent home early, you’re told straight away — with the reason and the time it happened.
For boarders, a nightly “all confirmed present” once staff complete the dorm roll-call.
Sign in with a one-time code to your phone number. Nothing to set up, nothing to forget.
Link more than one child — even across different schools — and see each one’s alerts in the same place.
Schools message you, never the other way — so there’s no group-chat noise, and you’re never on a marketing list.

Free to download. Sign in with your phone number. Your child’s school does the rest.
