Passport For Good is a new website being introduced to Monroe-Woodbury High School students in the 2026–27 school year.

Passport For Good is a website that tracks attendance for clubs/extracurricular activities. This website also tracks hours spent in clubs or community service, which is beneficial for students’ portfolios. It tracks your volunteer hours and club attendance from 6th grade all the way through 12th grade. This is extremely beneficial, as these things can be used on a college essay or resume.

There are color-coded tables that have information regarding volunteer hours and meeting minutes.

According to Mr. McElroy, student attendance in clubs has always been inconsistent. By having Passport For Good, it will help start the trend of attending after-school clubs more often.

Mr. McElroy told students he found out about the Passport For Good through nearby Chester Academy, where his son attends. He did some research on the website and came to the conclusion that Passport For Good could solve some attendance and tracking problems here at Monroe-Woodbury.

“I was intrigued by it,” said Mr. McElroy. “So, I kind of did a little digging, saw what it looked like on his end, and said, ‘Oh, that’s gonna solve a couple problems on our end.'”

In the fall, Mr. McElroy—with the help from Ms. Valet, who formerly taught at Chester Academy—started to make some connections to the company.

There was a committee looking for software to use which included assistant superintendent, Dr. Hassler, who was focused on tracking seals of civic readiness, seal of biliteracy, pathways to graduation and other data. Even though the attendance tracking could have been done by another software, they really liked the idea of tracking the various seals and service hours.

During the search for software, they looked at some options, one being Naviance, but it didn’t completely achieve what they were looking for.

The school also has a software called “Job Ready 360” that also did some of what they were searching for. Mr. McElroy believed that since these two options were already in the system, they would have been the cheapest, but Passport For Good seemed to surpass them in its abilities.

Students who are in the system right now will be able to check their dates and meetings they attend. Eventually, they will be able to see their hours spent in those clubs and what’s accumulating at the top. Due to the system being a little overwhelmed, these features are going to make an appearance later.

Mr. McElroy said that access to the website would come at a price to the district.

“It was expensive. I want to say it was in the $30,000-plus range, but it was pricier than I thought,” said Mr. McElroy.

They have about 400 students involved in this program at the moment and plan on implementing it fully in September.

The main goal right now is communicating to parents what the Passport For Good is.

“Anytime you’re trying to do something new, communication is really important,” said Mr. McElroy.
