Why schools switch

Dismissal is the riskiest 30 minutes of the school day. It doesn't have to be.

Hundreds of handoffs, a crowded driveway and staff shouting names into radios. Here's what changes on day one.

½

Half the dismissal time

Students leave class only when their ride is in the driveway, so the line keeps moving and parents get back on the road.

  • Live queue in arrival order
  • No students waiting outside in bad weather
  • Less idling in your driveway
100%

Every pickup accounted for

Each sign-in and sign-out is timestamped to the authorized adult, so you can answer "who picked up Ava, and when?" in seconds.

  • Authorized pickup list on every device
  • Printable reports with signatures
  • Instant notifications to parents
$10K

Back in your budget each year

Schools save up to $800 a month on walkie-talkies, paper sign-out sheets and the extra staff hours dismissal used to take.

  • Fewer staff needed on duty
  • No radios or car tags to replace
  • Teachers get end-of-day time back
Radios, paper sign-out sheets and extra staff on duty cost schools up to $800 every month. See what you'd save →
How Lakeview Montessori runs dismissal2 min
How it works

Simple for parents. Clear for staff. Logged for the office.

  1. We import your families

    From Veracross, your SIS through GG4L, or a simple spreadsheet. Authorized pickups come with them.

  2. Parents check in from the driveway

    They open the QManager app as they arrive. No hardware, tags or stickers to hand out.

  3. Staff call students in order

    Teachers and the front office see the same live line-up on an iPad or any browser.

  4. Every handoff is logged

    Sign-outs are timestamped and reportable for audits, custody questions and drills.

Real customer results

Schools that switched don't go back to radios.

How does QManager work during dismissal?

Parents open the QManager app as they enter your driveway. Staff see a virtual line-up of arriving parents on an iPad or browser and dismiss students from their classrooms in the correct order. Parents can also sign students in or out from their phone.

Does it work with our student information system?

Yes. QManager syncs with Veracross, and as a GG4L partner we sync with many other SIS platforms. If you use something else, we can import family data from Excel.

Does it handle carpools and buses too?

Yes. Carpool schedules, bus riders and walkers all live in the same dismissal view, so staff manage every pickup type from one screen.

How do we keep track of who picked up each student?

Every sign-in and sign-out is timestamped and tied to the adult who did it. Authorized pickup lists are available to staff on every device, and you can print reports with signatures.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on your school's size and setup. Contact us for an affordable quote; most schools save more on radios, paper and staff hours than they spend.

Can we try it before committing?

Yes. Book a demo to see it with your own dismissal setup, or start a guided trial and we'll walk you through it.
