Silent Dismissal Procedures
Silent Dismissal is a dismissal system that allows our school the ability to dismiss students from inside the classroom, as their parent/guardian arrives for pick up. This greatly reduces the number of students in a designated area, while increasing safety and accountability. It is a secure system and we are very excited to continue using it.
Here’s how it works:
Parents/Guardians will be provided with 'parent car tags' to be placed on the passenger side dashboard. Each tag will have a code, unique to your family, including all students within that family. When families arrive for pick up (via car or on foot), a staff member will enter the number located on your dashboard tag. Notification of pick up will then appear in your child’s classroom, letting your student(s) know they are dismissed to go to their car.
Here are the basic procedures for silent dismissal:
-
Parent/guardian arrives in the pick up loop access road.
-
Student/Family number is entered by staff into a mobile device.
-
Server processes information & routes to classroom(s) to notify student(s).
-
Student sees name projected and teacher notifies student of dismissal.
-
Student leaves the classroom for the pick up loop.
-
Student leaves in the car with the parent/guardian.
Important points to remember:
-
Please have your car tag with you every day. If your child is going home with a different person or car, please make sure the other person picking up has the car tag. We plan to print four tags per family. If you need additional tags please notify the main office.
-
If a car comes through the dismissal line or a parent arrives for in-person pick up without the tag, the driver will be obligated to park in the side lot and wait until dismissal has ended. At the end of dismissal, school personnel will check identification and verify Skyward permissions to manually release the student from the classroom. There will be no exceptions (even if you know your number). Students can not be picked up in the main office.

Please understand this program was purchased with the safety of our children in mind. It is imperative we are all on the same page and adhere to these dismissal procedures. We are excited to continue to use this highly effective system!
