==== More Parent Features ==== | ==== More Parent Features ==== | ||
- | ==== Parent Web Access ==== | + | 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. | ||
+ | ==== Parent Web Connect | ||
+ | For schools who want to provide most of the features of the Parent Connect smart phone app to any parents without a smart phone, Silent Dismissal may now be configured to allow parents access via the web. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As with the Parent Connect App, parents may associate multiple students, set explicit daily method overrides, and manage student default dismissal profiles all through a familiar web browser interface. Parents can also see messages posted to their associated students' | ||

+ | Parent web access does not provide a method for parents to dismiss students within a geo-fence boundary and will not provide the upcoming app alert notifications. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Parent Connect Web access is currently in use at select beta test schools and will be available to all clients for the 2016-2017 school year. Silent Dismissal Parent Web Connect will be priced at an additional $2.00 per student license to be paid by the school. The service may be added at any time during the school year. Once added, any additional regular Silent Dismissal student licenses will be priced at the then current rate plus $2.00. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Coming Soon: App Alerts ==== | ||
+ | App Alerts will be coming soon and available at no additional cost to schools for parents who have active Silent Dismissal Parent Connect All Access. | ||
+ | |||
+ | With App Alerts, staff will be able to send alert messages to all parents or to only those parents with students associated to a specific classroom or group. Just as messages may be sent to students that belong to a specific group such as a bus, daycare van, or club App Alerts extends this feature to send those same messages to parents' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Imagine this scenario: A bus has arrived to load students but a mechanical issue with the door prevents the bus from departing on time. Many parents along the bus route become concerned when the bus has not arrived at the expected time so they begin calling the school where they are told only that the bus is delayed. Later, when more information is known, staff may need to return telephone calls to those same parents. | ||
+ | |||
+ | With App Alerts, a staff member can enter a short message such as " | ||

+ | What was previously a very time consuming condition for the staff now becomes almost effortless. | ||
