Getting Started

This page contains links for school administrators to begin using Silent Dismissal.

This page applies to new clients. Existing clients should look at the yearly conversion page for instructions.

Purchase Services

Obtain a quotation and the associated invoice.

One of these four items must be completed to obtain service.

  1. Receipt of payment by Silent Dismissal
  2. A purchase order or binding letter of intent to purchase. Must include the number of licenses by type and the total purchase amount
  3. Receipt of payment for trial period

Initial Data for Load

Immediately upon obtaining a quotation, the next step is to compile the required information for loading into Silent Dismissal.

This information is best delivered in a spreadsheet. The four categories of required information are:

  1. Staff Accounts
  2. Physical Locations, Groups, and Preset Messages (may be individually created within the service or loaded from a data file)
  3. Students
  4. Bus Stops (optional, not required)

The exact fields of information required are described on the spreadsheet file format page.

Signing In

You will receive from us the URL for your site along with information for signing in once your site has been configured and is available.

First Steps

After the data has been loaded the first set of steps will be to

  • Review the data
  • Print parent placards
  • Print student placards
  • Ensure staff are able to access their accounts
  • Review getting started guides and best practices for dismissal and classroom staff
