Carline Hound: Car Rider Line

Carline Hound

About this app

Carline Hound is the fast, safe, and stress-free way to run car rider dismissal at your school. It turns chaotic afternoon carpool pickup into a smooth, coordinated car rider line that your whole staff runs together.


Built for school administrators and staff — not parents — Carline Hound takes the frustration out of organizing students for the pickup line, so school dismissal moves faster and every student gets to the right car, safely.


WHY SCHOOLS CHOOSE CARLINE HOUND

• One low-cost subscription covers your whole school — one person subscribes, then invites everyone else. No per-user fees.

• A fraction of the cost of competing carline and school dismissal apps.

• Dismiss car riders from the classroom or a central assembly point — you choose.

• Show the live pickup list on any TV or Smartboard so staff, teachers, and students see upcoming cars and student names in real time.


KEY FEATURES

• Bulk-import your car riders from an XLSX spreadsheet (names, carpool numbers, and teachers).

• Set the number of pickup spots in your school's car rider line.

• Move forward and back through the dismissal list at any time.

• Email-verified, password-protected accounts to protect student privacy and safety.

• School-approved access — new users must be approved before they can join.

• Broadcast the pickup line to a large screen via screen mirroring.


HOW CARLINE HOUND WORKS

Each car rider family is assigned a number and displays it on arrival (up to 4 carpool numbers per vehicle). Four synced roles keep dismissal moving:

• Walker — records the numbers shown by each car as it pulls into the pickup line.

• Marshal — watches names appear in the assembly area and dismisses groups of students to their cars.

• Classroom View — shows each teacher which of their students are up next, so they know exactly when to send a child to the pickup point.

• Large Display — broadcasts upcoming groups to a big screen so the whole room stays ready.


Every view advances automatically as the Marshal dismisses each group — keeping classrooms, marshals, and walkers perfectly in sync.


Whether you dismiss car riders from classrooms or a central carpool line, Carline Hound keeps everyone coordinated: walkers logging arrivals, the marshal sending students out, and teachers watching the classroom view.


Speed up dismissal, cut the chaos, and keep students safer — for a fraction of the cost of other car rider line and dismissal apps.


Download Carline Hound and make car rider dismissal the easiest part of your school day.

Ratings and reviews

I love this app, I only wish for a few tweaks, like maybe having a spot to enter numbers for office pick up, or being able to add a number in the middle in case someone cuts in line. also if I delete a number it leaves a space

Such a clever idea and perfect for any parent or school administrator who is fed up with the craziness at their school carpool line. This app is easy to implement and use. Highly recommend.

Did not function consistently enough to be useful. Most of the time it wouldn't load until parents were face to face and able to just tell me the kid's name.
