Dismissal Procedures Pup Patrol

PickUp Patrol is Back!

DISMISSAL PROCEDURES: Schuylkill Elementary School will continue to use PickUp Patrol in the 2023-24 school year. PickUp Patrol saves time for our office staff, reduces classroom interruptions, and most importantly, adds a layer of safety for our students.

On August 8, you will receive a registration email with a link to set up your account.

Use the PUP web app for:

ATTENDANCE: Notify the school office when your child will be absent, arriving late or leaving early. Absent notes are still required and should be sent or emailed to [email protected].

DISMISSAL CHANGES: Submit changes to your child’s regular dismissal plans.

For example:

● Your child normally rides the bus but is getting picked up today.

● Your child usually goes to aftercare but is leaving early for an appointment.

How it works:

Your child's regular dismissal plan is entered into the system. This is called their Default Plan. Then whenever you have a change to the Default Plan, you’ll submit it through the PUP app. When the change is submitted, the school will be notified, and your child’s teacher will relay the change to them.

Getting started:

1. REGISTER: On August 8, 2023, you will receive a registration email with a link to set up your account.

○ The web app is free to parents, and you can use it from your smartphone or computer.

○ For easy access, follow the instructions in your registration email for how to add it to your phone’s home screen (PUP is not accessed through the app stores).

1. ENTER DEFAULT PLANS: Once you register, log into your PickUp Patrol account no later than August 25, 2023 to confirm your child’s default dismissal plan. It’s important that you complete this step so that we can accurately dismiss your children.
