How Our School Dismissal Software Works
A Simple, Flexible Flow for Dismissals

FetchKids simplifies dismissals in three easy steps:

  1. Parent Taps “I’m On My Way” — Staff are alerted in real time.
  2. Staff Prep Students for Pickup — The right student is ready at the right time.
  3. Pickup Is Confirmed — Parents receive instant confirmation in the app.

Schools can also track attendance, log late arrivals, coordinate after-school activities, and store all communication in one place.

It’s an efficient, affordable school dismissal solution that saves staff time, improves safety, and keeps parents in the loop.
