Pickup Patrol

The PickUp Patrol logo features text and a stylized graphic.

Starting March 2, 2002

How it Works

  • PickUp Patrol (PUP) is free to parents and is accessed from your smartphone or computer.
  • To make a dismissal change, simply log in, select a date, your child, and a plan change option. Then hit submit and that’s it!
  • Changes and absences can be entered months in advance, but submit all same-day changes by 2:25. If you try to add changes after that time, you will be prompted to contact the school office.
  • Teachers will be automatically notified of any dismissal changes for the day and will communicate them to your child. You will receive a confirmation email.
  • Parents submit plan changes for their children
    through Pickup Patrol on their smartphone or on a computer.
    No more notes or phone calls!

  • Once a day, a list of plan changes is automatically
    sent to teachers, who then pass the
    information along to their students.

  • PickUp Patrol creates lists of changes for the car line,
    buses, and afterschool activities that can be distributed to
    dismissal personnel so everyone knows who's going where.
