PickUp Patrol’s automated dismissal system has been helping schools manage dismissal time safety for over 10 years.

Here’s how it works:

• Parents conveniently submit plan changes for their children using the free app.

• The school office has full access to monitor student absences, early dismissals, and end-of-day plans.

• Teachers are sent a daily email with their student’s end-of-day plans.

A variety of tools are available to further automate the process including teacher notifications, a student dispatcher for car line dismissal, up-to-date lists of changes for the car line, buses, after-care, activities, tracking absences, and more.

As former teachers, we know budgets are tight. We keep the cost of PickUp Patrol as affordable as possible. Your school cost is based on your enrollment and billed annually.

Contact us with your school enrollment for a quote and any discounts that may apply.

If you start mid-school year, you can prorate your first year.

The web app is always free for parents to use.

Your PickUp Patrol subscription consists of our online dashboard with complete oversight, a free parent app (accessible by phone, tablet, or computer), and ZipLane™, our student dispatcher feature and car line dismissal tool.

You’ll have access to the built-in setup checklist and Onboarding Center which includes everything you need to know to roll out PickUp Patrol to your school community.
