Alerts Tied to Pass Creation

It would be very useful to be able to trigger alerts (to teachers/staff and parents) around pass creation and/or activation, not just roll code, daily status, or roll-dependent reason. Parents are asking to be alerted when their student activates a check out pass that they have scheduled or when they are given a nurse pass, for example. Also, teachers would love to know when a student is put on a pass that affects their roll for that period during the period itself. (E.g. a student has checked in late and is on the way to their class.)

(An axiom for us, which many schools may not share, is that when a student enters a class late, a teacher should not have to pause teaching and manually end a pass, so that admittedly changes our approach.)

Who is this feature for?
Teachers, parents, administrators
Platform
Desktop, Mobile Phone, Browser Extension
What problem would this new feature help your school solve?
Parents do not know when their child has successfully checked out of school and have asked for this information. Also, teachers have asked to be alerted that a student is on the way to their class (a pass having been created for them during their class). Parents have also asked to be alerted when their child is issued a nurse pass.
How often does this problem happen?
Daily
Describe the impact on your school if this problem remains unsolved?
We will have to construct a workaround to let parents know when their child checks out or has needed the nurse. Teachers will lack awareness that they should expect a student.
Please list any other tools or platforms that you know of that offer similar functionality.
SchoolPass appears to do this.
