School Front Office & Visitor Management: Gate Passes, Early Leave and Child Safety
How to run a school reception that knows who is on campus — visitor logs, gate passes, early pick-up approvals, item hand-over and enquiries — with a checklist.
Front office
A front office that knows who is on campus
Every visitor signed in and out, every early pick-up approved and recorded, every parcel handed over — and parents told the moment their child leaves.
Front office: what you can do
Visitor log
Who came, whom they met, why and when they left — with a printed gate pass.
Early leave with approval
Requested by the parent or the office, approved, then released only to a named collector.
Parent notified on release
The family is told the moment a child leaves early. The register shows “Left early”.
Item hand-over
Lunch boxes, books and forgotten items dropped by parents, logged and handed over.
Enquiries
Admission and general enquiries with follow-ups; admission enquiries become applications.
Postal log
Inward and outward post and couriers, with who received them.
Part of one connected school platform
Front office shares its records with every other SchoolKonnect module — students, classes, staff and fees are entered once and used everywhere. That is why reports add up and parents see the same figures as the office.

How does early leave work?
A parent or the office records the request, an authorised person approves it, and the child is released only to the named collector. The parent is notified and attendance shows the child left early.
Can we print gate passes?
Yes. Visitor and early-leave gate passes print from the front office screen.
Can parents request early pick-up themselves?
Yes, from the parent app under Pick-up & items.
