PCR Educator runs dismissal inside the student information system: authorized pickups and emergency contacts on the household, carline and bus routes with sign-ups and daily overrides, kiosk release with a pincode for parents, grandparents, and approved adults, and aftercare check-in that bills the family account on your fee schedule. Each release is time-stamped to the adult who received the student, and the day's plan for every child is one list.
Parents, emergency contacts, and authorized pickups live on the household in the SIS, each with a pincode. At the kiosk or the carline, the adult enters the pincode, the release is matched to that person, and the front desk never has to ask a parent to spell a grandparent's name.
Bus routes and bus days are set up once, families sign up, and a day-of change (a playdate, an early pickup, a different route on Thursdays) is recorded as an override against that student and that date. The dismissal list for every location reflects the plan as of that afternoon.
Aftercare check-in at 3:30 and pickup at 5:42 land in the fee bracket your schedule defines. At week's end the business office reviews the matched records and runs one invoice batch to family ledgers. Charges are reviewed before they go out, and families see them on the same statement as tuition.
Every release, ride, and aftercare check-in writes to the household and student record, so the front office, the aftercare director, and the business office are reading the same afternoon.
Today's plan for every student (bus, car, walker, aftercare, early pickup) in one list, with the overrides families entered this morning.
Who is expected, who has arrived, and who has been collected, with each pickup matched to an authorized adult by pincode.
Matched aftercare records reviewed and invoiced in a batch to family ledgers, on the fee schedule already in the system.
Change today's pickup, sign a grandparent up as an authorized adult, and see the aftercare charge, all from the family portal.
School dismissal software manages the release of students at the end of the day: who goes home by bus, car, or on foot, who stays for aftercare, which adults are authorized to collect each child, and the record of each release. In PCR Educator this runs inside the student information system, so authorized pickups, bus routes, aftercare billing, and the release record all sit on the same household and student.
Parents, emergency contacts, and authorized pickups are recorded on the household, each with a five-digit pincode. At the kiosk or the carline the adult enters the pincode, the release is matched to that person, and the record shows which student left with which adult at what time. Pincode scope can be unique per household or unique across the school.
Yes. A parent records a day-of change from the family portal, for example a different pickup person, an early departure, or a bus override for that date. The change appears on the dismissal list for that day only, and the student's default plan is untouched for tomorrow.
Yes. Bus routes and bus days are configured in the platform, families sign up for routes, and overrides for a single day are recorded against the student. The dismissal list shows each rider's route for that afternoon, and the office can see who was released to which bus.
A fee schedule maps each program (aftercare, extended day, late pickup) and time window to a billable product and frequency. Check-in and pickup records carry the matching charge. The business office reviews the matched records and runs Create Invoice to post them to family ledgers in a batch, so charges are checked before they reach a statement.
Yes. Every release stores the student, the receiving adult, the time, the location, and who recorded it, with the same audit trail on aftercare check-in and pickup. Late-pickup letters and emails can be generated by mail merge directly from those records, citing the dates, times, and fees involved.
A specialist walks through the dismissal list, a pincode release at the carline, a bus override, and an aftercare invoice batch, on live data and your fee schedule.
