Dismissal
Every child, every way home, every afternoon.
Rostra Dismissal knows how each child goes home today: car, bus, walking, aftercare, a club, or an approved adult. Families change today’s plan from their phone, teachers see it on their list, and the office lets each group go with one tap.
Included with every Rostra school, whichever app you choose first. There is no separate price.
- A plan for every day
- Changes from the Family app
- Approvals that fit your office
Most dismissal mistakes start with a change that never reached the classroom. Here the change, the pickup list and the release are one record that the office, the teacher and the family all see.

A typical day with Dismissal
How your team uses it throughout the day.
- 11:40 am
A change from home
A parent changes today to a pickup by Grandma before the cutoff. It is approved, and the teacher sees it.
- 1:15 pm
A late change
Another family asks after the cutoff. It waits on the office board, and the parent gets an alert when it is approved.
- 2:55 pm
Buses go
The office taps Release buses, and every teacher’s list turns green at once.
- 3:00 pm
The car line
Staff at the curb call each tag, and car riders are marked on the way and in the car.
- 3:30 pm
The day is recorded
Every release, change and stop is saved with the staff member and the time, ready to print.

Features
Everything listed here is available today.
Plans and changes
A plan for every day
Each child has a usual way home and a weekly pattern, such as aftercare on Tuesdays and soccer on Wednesdays.
Changes from the Family app
Parents change today’s plan before the school’s cutoff, choosing how their child goes home and who is collecting them.
Approvals that fit your office
On time changes approve themselves, or every change waits for the office. Late changes always wait, and the family gets an alert when you decide.
In the classroom
A list for every teacher
The homeroom grouped by bus, walker, car, pickup, aftercare and clubs, with today’s changes marked at the top of each group.
Releases arrive at once
When the office releases the buses or the walkers, every teacher’s list turns green at the same moment.
The car line feeds the list
Car riders show called, on the way and in the car as the curb works through the line.
Custody and safety
Pickup lists with photos
Each child has a list of adults who may collect them, with relationship, phone and an optional photo to check at the door.
Do not release, enforced
A person who must not collect a child is stopped at release, whoever is at the door. The reason and the notes are seen only by the office.
Early sign out
The office records who left, with whom, when and why. Attendance is marked with your early dismissal code and the health office is told.
The car line and the record
Call a car in seconds
Type the number on the family’s tag or scan its code with a phone camera, and the classroom is notified at once.
Works through a weak signal
If the connection drops in the parking lot, calls are saved on the phone and sent when the signal returns.
A printable day
Every release, change and stop is recorded with the staff member and the time, and the whole day downloads as a PDF.
What it does not do
Clear limits, so your school knows exactly what to expect.
- Rostra Dismissal is not sold separately. It is included with every Rostra school.
- It does not track where families are. A family tells the school they have arrived by pressing a button.
- It never lets a family name a new adult. Only people the office has put on the pickup list can collect a child.
