Why Dismissal exists.
We're building the calmest, safest twenty minutes of the school day — getting the right child to the right car, every afternoon.
Dismissal is the hardest part of the day.
For most schools, afternoon pickup is run on paper signs, walkie-talkies, and memory. It's the one moment when hundreds of children and cars converge at once — and the stakes are the highest of the day.
It's slow
Carlines back up into the street while staff radio names back and forth and hand-match clipboards to windshields.
It's manual
Printed placards, dry-erase boards, and a teacher squinting at each car. Every release depends on someone remembering a face or a name.
It's high-stakes
A child released to the wrong vehicle is every administrator's worst afternoon. The margin for error is zero, and the tools haven't kept up.
It's stressful
Front-office staff, teachers on duty, and waiting parents all absorb the chaos — twice a day, every day, all year.
It started at the curb.
Dismissal began with a simple observation: a school already knows every family it dismisses, so the hard part was never identifying them — it was knowing, in the moment, which of them had actually pulled up outside.
So we built it. A parent scans the school’s printed sign from the carline, and the front office instantly sees the family and the children due for dismissal — in arrival order, ready to call. It installs in a day: no wiring, no servers, no cameras, no IT project. The carline that used to crawl starts to flow, and the right student goes to the right car.
The right child, to the right car.
Our purpose is to make dismissal safe, fast, and calm for every school — protecting the children at the center of it and giving their families peace of mind.
Safety first
Every release is matched to an authorized adult and logged, so the right child leaves with the right person — every time.
Effortless for schools
Built for the people running the carline. It works on day one — no hardware to buy, no training marathon.
Privacy by design
We capture no images at all — and use student data only to run dismissal. Our full posture lives on the trust page.
Every afternoon, a school trusts us with the most important handoff of the day. That's the standard we build to.
