Revolutionizing the Back to School Afternoon Dismissal Process: School Administrators Can Now 'See' the Benefits of the School Dismissal Manager Program Via Online Video

CROMWELL, Conn., Aug. 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- For school administrators across the nation, back to school means reviewing old procedures and evaluating what has worked and what hasn't in the past.  This extends to the afternoon dismissal process, an often haphazard, ill-equipped system that must handle a host of ever-changing scenarios during the school day.  Unfortunately, this can lead to miscommunication, including school pickup and bus assignment mishaps, car line confusion, and a series of other unforeseen events.  All of these factors can place a heavy burden on administrators.      

School Dismissal Manager (http://www.schooldismissalmanager.com), an online communication vehicle for parents, helps school administrators alleviate these potential problems and issues by enabling parents to securely log in and let school officials know if and when there is a change to their child's normal dismissal routine.  School Dismissal Manager makes lost or forged notes as well as forgotten phone calls a thing of the past.

Now, just in time for back-to-school, school administrators can learn even more about School Dismissal Manager, which currently manages thousands of families, with a newly created School Dismissal Manager video (http://bit.ly/SDMDemo). The animated online video, which is approximately two minutes in duration, demonstrates the ease, safety and convenience of the School Dismissal Manager system.  The video also showcases innovative options, including a school bus capacity management feature that checks and monitors bus capacity throughout the school day, a carpooling assignment/notification function that allows parents to schedule carpools with other parents (which is an ideal way to save gas and go green), and a playdate scheduling feature, which identifies with whom the child has a playdate and generates a confirmation email that is sent to the playdate's parents. All updated data is integrated into the school's Daily Dismissal Report.

"School officials are becoming acutely aware that their current afternoon dismissal methods are not working and are extremely problematic.  School Dismissal Manager helps to solve this," said Bob Watson, creator of School Dismissal Manager.  "We are pleased to release School Dismissal Manager's new online video just in time for back- to-school, as we think it will provide school administrators with an up close look at the benefits and features this amazing program has to offer them and their district."
