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.
Useful for the school / AWFUL for the parents
This is a classic example of an app that is beneficial to the business (the school) and awful for the clients (parents and families). It’s so buggy, and takes entirely too long to deal with. It makes life as a parent of school age children much more difficult than it needs to be.
Not working
This is the second time I tried to log in and it won’t load.
Continues to jam up
I have to continually uninstall and reinstall the app almost every time I need to use it. I have an iPhone 14 pro so it is not that the phone can’t support the app. It seems perhaps the app can’t support the phone.
Web Version does not work
Ah the modern world.
Not bad easy to use but tiresome
This app is OK. Easy to use. Nevertheless it would be great if they could have a button that says "Apply same exception for all children " or select certain children with check boxes to add the same exception. The school makes us add after school clubs as an exception so that's manually entering like 25 or more exceptions x3 kids. If you have more than one kid you'll end up spending a lot of time managing your pickup app!
Terrible app
Supposed to use this app for my daughter’s school and I can’t even create an account. It says when I go to create an account it gives me an “error” message then it says “Unable to generate forgot password request based on the provided input parameters. Contact your school for assistance. I’m not even trying to get a password I’m trying to create an account to use it and can’t even do that.
Good luck
Use this to check my daughter out but constantly get errors that my session has expired despite just logging in. Spins and won’t load, then you finally get to the screen, hit next and boom, session expired. My poor daughter is always in recall.
Fixed a bug that prevented some phones from displaying the check-in buttons on time.
