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.

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

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.

If your school will be scanning individual students as they leave the school, then you may want to order waterproof holders for each student. Here are links to some recommended products.
