Less stress for staff. One tap for parents.

School pickup, without the chaos

Parents check in with one tap when they arrive. Your staff see every arrival on a live dashboard, so students are at the door when their ride pulls up — no walkie-talkies, no paper logs, no shouting names down the pickup line. Your staff get back 40+ minutes every afternoon.

How it works

From pickup chaos to calm

Dismissal stops being the most stressful part of the day. No more flagging down cars or hunting for students: every teacher sees each arrival live and sends students out when their ride is here, so your staff can spend dismissal with families instead of chasing car numbers. Watch it from both sides.

The basics

Three steps to a calm dismissal

We handle setup and send every family a welcome email — most parents are checking in on day one.

We set up your school

Send us your family list. We load pickup IDs, set your pickup area and times, and email every parent a secure sign-in link.

Parents tap when they arrive

One button in the app or any browser. A location check confirms they're really at school, then their pickup ID appears on your dashboard instantly.

Your staff release students

Your team sees every arrival in real time and sends students out. No radios, no clipboards, no numbers shouted across the lot. Students wait inside until their number shows, and teachers stay in with them, whatever the weather.

What our schools are saying

Rogers Adventist School · ★★★★★

From school staff

We went from dismissal being one of the most stressful parts of my day as an admin to dismissal being a piece of cake. Now, instead of trying to flag down cars and search for students, I have the ability to connect with students and parents in positive ways during dismissal. Game changer.
Holley Bryant · Head of Schools
At Rogers, school check-out went from standing out in the cold and juggling messy communication to a smooth system that keeps dismissal running smoothly, making me more available to focus on supporting students and families.
Jill · Principal
The time it took to relay numbers from whoever was outside to us inside. The app saves us a ton of time at pickup! Time saved for sure!
Jessica · Parent & School Staff

From families

Before the check-in app, pickup was the most frustrating part of my day. If the lot was full, I'd circle until someone calling numbers spotted me, or walk to the door in the rain, cold, or heat. Sometimes twenty minutes would pass, I'd go inside anyway, and find out my number never went through. My kid didn't even know I was there. Now pickup is fast and easy, and I don't start time with my kid already in a bad mood.
Ellie · Parent
This app has simplified the school pick up process immensely. It is simple to use, reduces human error, and ensures a more secure process overall. I particularly have appreciated the ability to easily share our number (on a one-time, or ongoing basis) with family when we have needed help picking up our kids.
Ryan · Parent
“A safe and effective way to notify the staff and knowing my students are receiving the message that I am in the parking lot. I love it!”
Roxanne · Grandparent
“So lovely to just pull in knowing that my number is logged in.”
Linnae · Parent
“It has saved time and chaos.”

Getting started

From demo to your first pickup

Once we have your family list, most schools are live in 1–2 weeks. We do the heavy lifting — your staff don’t need to be tech experts.

  1. Book a demo

    See the parent app and staff dashboard live, and ask us anything.

  2. Send your family list

    A spreadsheet is all we need. Keep your existing pickup numbers or let us assign them.

  3. We set up your school

    Your logo and colors, pickup area and times, and logins for your staff.

  4. Families get welcome emails

    Every parent gets a secure sign-up link, with automatic reminders on day 3 and day 7. A QR code and flyer help you spread the word.

  5. Your first pickup

    Typically 1–2 weeks after we get your list. Go live at dismissal, with support from us while your team settles in.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

The questions schools ask us most. See all questions, including answers for parents.

How difficult is it to set up our school?
Incredibly simple. You provide us with your student ID list and branding, and we handle the configuration. Parents then receive a welcome email with a secure link to set their password. Most schools can be fully onboarded in just a week or two.
Is this one more thing for our teachers to learn?
Barely. The classroom screen stays signed in and simply shows pickup numbers as families arrive, so there’s nothing to log into each day. Training is about 10 minutes at a staff meeting. Only the office and one or two people outside use the admin dashboard.
What if some families don’t want another app?
They don’t have to download anything. Check-in works straight from any phone browser, and the office can check in any family with one tap. Rogers families had the same worry at first, and they’ve now checked in more than 25,000 times.
Does our school need a specific ID system?
Yes. The School Check-In App operates using a unique numbering system (Family/Pickup IDs). If your school already uses one, we can simply import it via CSV. If not, we can help you implement a new numbering system as part of your onboarding. When a family's account is removed, its number is freed up and can be reassigned to a new family.
How is a "family" defined for billing?
A "family" is defined by a primary Pickup ID. Whether shared with one parent or five guardians, it's billed as a single unit. You are not charged per user.
How is our school's data protected?
We use Google's secure Firebase infrastructure, restricted API keys, strict CORS policies, and App Check to ensure all data remains private and protected at all times.
Do you store sensitive location data?
No. We perform a one-time check at "Check-In" to verify the parent is near school. This location data is then automatically and permanently deleted from our servers within a day.
Is the app FERPA compliant?
Yes. Our agreement with your school designates us a "school official" under FERPA. We never collect student names, grades or birthdates, only the pickup number your school assigns.
What student information do you collect?
Almost none. We never collect student names, grades, photos or school records, only the pickup number your school assigns. We store parent and guardian contact details, check-in times and, if your school turns it on, vehicle details. Your school keeps the list that links numbers to students, owns all of its data, and we use it only to run pickup.
I'm a grandparent or caretaker and can't sign in
A parent needs to add you first. Caretakers don't get their own invite from the school, and we can't create caretaker accounts. Ask the child's parent to open the Share tab in the app and choose Permanent for regular pickups or Temporary for one day. You'll get an email right away. Caretaker access from last school year does not carry over. Parent or guardian of a student without an account? Contact the school office and ask them to add you.
