School Dismissal Manager

Last year, we implemented School Dismissal Manager (SDM) to help with after school dismissal. We saw huge improvements in the dismissal process and look forward to continuing this progress. 

New this year:

  • Families who arrive at IRE before 3:30 p.m. will be able to turn left directly into the gravel parking lot
  • Families who arrive after 3:30 p.m. will not be able to turn left, and will follow the flow of traffic to the right
  • We will reinstate zones for families, they have been readjusted for better balance. 
    • Blue Section: Last names beginning A-E
    • Yellow Section: Last names beginning F-M. 
    • Green Section: Last names beginning N-Z
    • Zone Map (PDF)

If you are a returning family, please take a few moments to login the SDM app and review your information. 

If you are a new family, be on the lookout for an invitation email from SDM next week. 

The annual invitation to join School Dismissal Manager will be sent next week. For returning families, please use this as an opportunity to review your information and make sure everything is correct. For new families, please install the app before school starts. You will use this app when you pick up your child from school.
