School Arrivals and Dismissals
Notifying School about Late arrivals
If your student will be late arriving to school - after 8:05am, you should notify the school as soon as possible via your SchoolPass app, which helps quickly notify school administrators and your student's teachers ahead of time.
Notifying School about Early pickup
If your student needs to leave school early (e.g. for an excused appointment or sporting event), you should use SchoolPass to notify school administrators and teachers as soon as you are able to plan for and confirm it.
Setting or changing a student's Dismissal defaults
In SchoolPass, your student’s dismissal default for each day of the week is meant to inform Columbus Academy of their most commonly occurring dismissal plan. You may always make ad-hoc changes to your student’s dismissal plan through the SchoolPass App for a given day (or a series of days), but it is important that you designate the way in which they’ll most often be dismissed. Any changes you report via SchoolPass throughout the school year will take precedence over the dismissal default.
Locating dismissal defaults for each student
Dismissal defaults can be managed through the SchoolPass website at: https://columbusacademy.school-pass.net/Home/ParentHome.aspx
After logging in you’ll see the parent dashboard as shown in the example screenshot. For each of your students, click the "Update Defaults" button beneath their name.
Making changes to dismissal defaults for each weekday
Your student will be defaulted to your carpool for all five days of the week at the beginning of the year. Next to each day of the week, click the drop-down box to review other dismissal options (such as bus or school activities that your child is registered in) that are available to you.
If your student will generally be picked up in carpool line, you do not need to make any changes to their dismissal defaults. As mentioned, you will always have the opportunity to move them to an available bus or activity on a specific date or series of dates.
Should you need to make any updates to their most common dismissal plan for a day of the week, make your selections and then tap/click on the "Update" button at the bottom of the page to complete the change to their dismissal defaults for that specific student.
