School Dismissal Manager

School Dismissal Manager

About this app

Parents, if your school uses School Dismissal Manager (SDM), this app lets you schedule your child's school dismissal instructions for any day within the next two weeks. Your child's typical everyday instruction is already set, so only exceptions need to be entered.

Pick from your school's dismissal options and add a note if needed. Notify your school of your wishes in just a few seconds.

Get a reminder on days your child has a dismissal exception.

Your school will supply you with new login credentials at the start of the school year. Login, set your own password, then SDM is always only a click away.

If your school uses SDM's FastLane for car line management, you can check in from the car line driveway. Your check in calls your children from their classrooms and lets the car line admin know you have arrived. This makes your school's car line faster, easier, and safer for your children.

This app only works for parents in schools that use School Dismissal Manager (SDM) to streamline their dismissal process. For more information: https://www.schooldismissalmanager.com.

Ratings and reviews

I can get behind the idea in theory, but the execution on this app is abysmally bad. It's not user friendly or intuitive at all and the interface is aggressively frustrating. Making a single date overlap or simple mistake (because you can't see any info when entering new info), means you have to start completely over. Maybe it's good for the school, idk, but as a parent I've seen exactly 0 benefit and a whole bunch of headaches since the school picked this app.

This needs updated badly. There was no place for me to check in when I went to pick up my kid. There was a 4 click way to get to a QR scanner thing, but that isn't what is to be used at our school. Also it shouldn't log you out so soon. I had to go back to try again to look for a way to check in and I had to keep logging in. Edit: to your response... There is no button. There are many other parents and grandparents who have the same issue. A fix/update is needed.

The app was working just fine and it's been okay to use overall except a couple issues a few weeks ago, but I just updated the app today and now it won't let me log in. Keeps giving me an error code. I've tried Uninstalling and redownloading, and restarting my phone. Nothing has helped. Need this to work as my kids' school require this. Help! Review Update - the other update that just came through today fixed the error and I'm now able to login. Thank you for a prompt response.
