Free Printable Homework Pass Set for K-12 Teachers

Plus ideas for using them.

The homework pass just might be the most coveted of all school rewards. It’s easy for teachers too, since it doesn’t cost a thing. Make it even easier to hand out homework passes with our free printable set of two options, each in two styles. Just fill out the form on this page to grab them.

Homework can be a surprisingly controversial topic. While many assume it’s just a natural part of a child’s education, others feel that homework isn’t all it’s cracked up to be . As we seek to encourage a better work-life balance for adults, is it possible homework is sending the wrong message to kids ?

That being said, very few schools have banned homework altogether , and it does have its benefits. It’s especially useful in subjects like math and reading, where students profit from lots of skills practice. Sometimes, though, it’s nice to offer kids a break with no penalty, or at least the chance to postpone their assignment to a better night. That’s where the homework pass comes in.

Homework Pass Options

Our free printable homework passes come in two options, with styles for both elementary and middle/high school:

• No Homework: This pass allows kids to skip a homework assignment, with no penalty to their grade.
• One Day Late: This one gives them an extra day to turn in their work, which can be really helpful if they have a busy night of after-school activities or aren’t feeling well.

Most teachers put some limitations on their homework passes, specifying that they’re for certain assignments only. (You don’t want to give a student a free pass on a big project or paper.) Make sure you explain any restrictions when you hand yours out.

Some teachers give every student a certain number of passes to use each semester or year. Others use them as rewards or prizes for in-class competitions or quizzes.

However you choose to use them, you can grab your free homework pass printable set by filling out this quick form.

Teachers, if you want to make a few homework passes to hand out to a few hardworking students, please take a look at the printable homework pass templates I have drawn.

For best results, print the homework passes on sturdy construction paper. Then carefully cut them out with scissors or an x-acto knife. If you want to reuse the same passes multiple times, simply leave the “for” and “date” lines blank and laminate the pass.

Free Hall Pass Templates to Edit, Customize, and Print

Michele is a writer who has been published both locally and internationally.

Learn about our Editorial Policy .

Free editable templates for hall passes make every teacher's life easier with one less thing to create from scratch. From bathroom passes to standard hall passes, you can use these templates for your classroom , your entire grade, or the whole school. Click on the image of the hall pass you like best to download, customize, and print. If you need help using the printables, this handy guide is useful.

Visual Hall Pass Template

Just as you would use printable homework charts or free behavior charts with elementary students, you can use visual hall passes. Kids in grades pre-K through five can use these passes to let other teachers know why they're in the hallway without you. The passes feature hall pass clip art of these common destinations: girl's bathroom, boy's bathroom, nurse, library, office, and cafeteria.

• Free Sample Letters to Make Asking for Donations Easy
• Sample Invitation Letters for Special Events to Get You Started

Ways to Customize the Hall Passes

While these hall passes are simple, there are a few easy ways you can make them unique.

• Add your name to the top line in your favorite colored font.
• Add stickers or simple drawings to the destination images to make them fun such as adding a Santa hat to the boy's bathroom figure in December.
• Use actual photos of these locations in your school instead of the cartoon images.
• Cut out the passes and adhere them to funny objects such as a toy frying pan or action figure.

Basic Blank Hall Pass Template

Make your own hall passes for any specific need you have with a basic blank hall pass template. This design features a lined paper look and room for the teacher issuing the pass to sign and room for the teacher who receives the student to sign. These work great for round-trip hallway use in middle school.

Since the blank hall passes are completely editable, there are many ways you can customize them.

• Create a class bathroom pass by filling out the info in a generic way like saying "Forever" in the "date/time" spot then adhering the pass to the front of a notebook or roll of toilet paper.
• Draw funny stick cartoons in the margins to represent common destinations so you don't have to fill that in on a moment's notice.
• Add your electronic signature to all the passes before printing to make filling them out quicker.

Detailed Check Box Hall Pass Template

High school teachers are often in a bigger rush and teens have more possible locations to visit in the school. These bright orange hall passes signal to passing teachers that the student has permission to be in the hall and feature a convenient check box system for marking destinations.

• Fill in the year on every date line and add your electronic signature before printing to make filling them out easier.
• Create one page of passes for each student in your class(es) by adding their name to the "student name" line before printing. Keep them in alphabetical order in a binder.
• Once printed, pre-cut a portion of each pass so it's easier to tear off when you need it.

Ways to Create Your Own Hall Passes

If you pride yourself on originality and love craft projects, you can make your own cool hall passes featuring items related to the subject you teach or things your students love. Add printable hall passes to other items to make durable passes or create your own from scratch.

• Use blank raffle tickets as passes where you can easily jot down the necessary information.
• Help kids stay out of trouble as they walk down the hall by attaching your pass to a simple handheld toy like a fidget spinner or Rubik's Cube.
• Make classroom passes by customizing printable wine labels and sticking them to water bottles.
• Use a candy bar wrapper template to make custom passes on small candy bars students get to eat if they get to their destination on time.
• Customize and print free hall passes then slide them into name badge holders so kids can wear them instead of carrying them.
• Create a digital hall pass using Google Forms and a QR code that can track student movement using cell phones.

Give Kids a Pass

Hall passes are a great way for students and teachers to communicate with each other quickly and efficiently. Using a free hall pass template takes one task off your list as you prepare for a new school year.

Homework Pass

Regular price $0.00

This Printable Homework Pass is great for teachers and homeschool moms .  This pass is a fun way to reward your students for a job well done by giving them a little relief from homework.

Due to technology being very different from one device to the next, it is difficult for me to troubleshoot if you have a problem. It is very rare that anyone has an issue downloading one of my printables. Reach out if you do have a problem though. :) 

Please note that most   mobile devices such as phones and ipads, do not allow for downloading through a link.

Some products are sent using a compressed ZIP file.

Here's how to unzip a ZIP file:

On a laptop or PC - Save the ZIP file to your computer, right-click and select, "Extract All." This will create a new file on your computer in which you can open. Then, add the file to iCloud or Dropbox to get the files on your mobile device. On rare occasions, apps on your browser may make things a little wonky during downloading. If this occurs, please try using a different browser.

On a mobile device - Before you download the ZIP file directly to your mobile device, you may need a free app to unzip the product (a good, free one is FileExplorer Free). This will allow you to unzip the folder to access it. Another solution available on some mobile devices is to long hold the zipped file icon and then click, "Extract."

All files are sent using PDF format.   Most computers have pre-installed Adobe Reader on them, but if your particular laptop, PC, or mobile device does not have a PDF reader of some sort on it, you'll need one to view the items. Adobe Reader is the most common one and it's free. You can  download it here .

If you can't find the file once it's downloaded , try looking in Downloads under My Computer or search the title of the file on your computer for where it could be hiding.

This is an instant digital download. Nothing will be shipped.

Once you purchase, it's yours forever.   

Technical support is not always available. If it's something I can help you with I will, but most people have no issues anyway. :)   

Privacy: We never, ever sell any of your information to anyone else.  

Personal use only. I retain all rights, license, copyright, title, and ownership of the products.  

You may NOT distribute these PDF's and printables to others please, including reselling, relicensing, redistributing, giving for free, or as part of a giveaway.   

If you have a discount code, only one code is allowed in the system per order. Discount codes cannot be used more than once.

All sales are limited time only and subject to change at any time.  

Due to the nature of these items, all sales are final. No refunds.  

By purchasing in our store, you agree to these terms.

A few years ago, my mom asked me to make some homework passes for her students.  This was at the very start of my TpT days.  Let’s just say that homework pass was so u-g-l-y that I HAD to remake it.  This new one is so much better. ?

With this homework pass – assign your students homework!  ALL day long, make them think they have homework.

Just because it’s Halloween doesn’t mean you get the night off!  Be sure to get your homework done before you go out tonight!

Then, at the very last minute, pass out the homework pass to your students.

Or attach it to their homework page so they don’t see it until they get home!  Surprise!

The homework was the trick, this pass it the treat!  Get it?  Trick-or-treat!

It’s always been a big hit with the students!

I wish I could say I came up with that one, but the credit goes to my mom.  She’s a clever one, I tell ya.
