Singlewire Software Introduces Dismissal Manager to Enhance School Safety and Efficiency

Streamlining School Dismissals: Dismissal Manager by Singlewire Software

Singlewire Software has announced a new addition to its Visitor Aware platform—the Dismissal Manager. This innovative tool is specifically designed to enhance the dismissal process at the end of the school day, aiming to improve safety and efficiency for students and staff alike.

As schools face the often chaotic end-of-day departures, Singlewire's Dismissal Manager aims to simplify this critical phase. The digital solution enables school administrators and staff to manage student dismissal in a more organized way, ensuring that every child is accounted for and safely handed over to the correct guardian or mode of transport.

Joanna Haugland, Chief Product Officer at Singlewire, highlighted the challenges schools encounter during dismissal times. "The end of the school day can be chaotic. Dismissal Manager is going to offer schools reliable, easy-to-access information about where each student is supposed to go, creating a less stressful and more secure process," she stated.

The Dismissal Manager allows schools to categorize each student’s dismissal method, whether it be via bus, pickup by a parent or guardian, walking home, or after-school activities. This is done efficiently, ensuring that details are logged and easily accessible to staff involved in the pickup process.

One of the standout features of the system is its incorporation of QR code technology for parent identification. Parents receive personalized QR codes that signify their authorization to pick up specific students. School staff can simply scan these codes to facilitate a smooth transition for students, notifying teachers when it is time for a child to be released.

Furthermore, Dismissal Manager integrates seamlessly with License Plate Recognition systems, which helps monitor the arrival of vehicles for pickup. This enhances security measures by allowing schools to identify authorized vehicles and even flagging those that are banned from campus, enabling staff to respond proactively to potential threats.

"School safety doesn't end when the last bell rings," noted Terry Swanson, President and CEO of Singlewire Software. "We're excited to share Dismissal Manager with schools to help them transform how they handle the dismissal process."

The launch of Dismissal Manager expands the capabilities of the Visitor Aware suite of products offered by Singlewire, which already includes solutions for visitor management, safety drills, and school bus management. This product is positioned to be a game-changer for educational institutions aiming to make end-of-day processes safer and more efficient.

Singlewire Software, based in Madison, Wisconsin, has a noteworthy reputation for developing solutions that promote safety and effective communication across various sectors. Their joint products serve over 5,000 organizations in more than 80 countries.
