Project Description
Dismissal was designed to give schools a more efficient,
coordinated process of school dismissal. We used one school in particular as a case for
our app, The
Harmony School of Enrichment
in Houston, TX. This particular school has a very unique problem, 1800+ students, no
buses. Currently, they manage their dissmisal through a text messaging service. A more
featured version of Dismissed will alleviate that issue.
We have created a database in MongoDB containing all the
students, siblings, parents/guardians, and parties allowed to pickup students all linked
with a family id. There will also be an administrative side to the app that allows school
administrators access to the future features. Once a parent/guardian logs into the app,
the GPS will then check to see when the user gets within a half mile of the pick-up zone.
When they get within a half mile of the pick-up zone, a button will render to give them
the option to check in for carpool pick-up. Once a parent checks in, an alert will be sent
to the administrator waiting with the students. All of the students linked to family
account will appear on the administrator’s screen and they can begin to line the students
up for dismissal.
