Silent Dismissal Procedures

Silent Dismissal is an end of day dismissal system. This program will allow the 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 the pick up area.

**Families that participated in Silent Dismissal last year are encouraged to pick up new tags. However, your designated pick up number will remain the same.

Here are the basic procedures for silent dismissal:

  1. Parent/guardian arrives in the pick up loop access road off of 82nd Street East.

  2. Student/Family number is entered by staff into a mobile device.

  3. Server processes information & routes to classroom(s) to notify student(s).

  4. Student sees name projected /teacher notifies student of dismissal

  5. Student leaves the classroom for the pick up loop.

  6. Student leaves in the car with the parent/guardian.

Important points to remember:

  • Please make any changes to your student's dismissal by 3pm each day. After 3pm the office becomes too busy to take your calls and make changes in time for the end of the day. We need time to notify all parties and ensure safety.
  • Please have your car tag with you every day. If your child is going home with a different person or car, please make sure that you have notified the office and that the other person picking up has the car tag. We plan to print two 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.
