More Parent Features
The latest version of the Silent Dismissal Parent Connect App provide the greatest access methods to date for parents.
Parents may now set the default dismissal method for the students by day of the week. These settings remain in effect until changed in the future. For example, presume that something has changed at the house and for foreseeable future the child needs to ride the bus on Tuesdays. With a one time setting in the Parent Connect app, the student default for Tuesday will be the bus selected by the parent.
Parents still have the ability to institute a single day override method on Tuesday to change from the defined bus to an alternate method.
Parents have more control and school staff are relieved of the burden of routinely updating student profiles.
