Raptor SchoolPass Helps Greenwich Country Day School Cut Dismissal Wait Times in Half

In this case study, we’ll review the challenges the district faced—and how Raptor worked with their team to overcome them.

The Challenge

Congestion and Delay

The school experienced considerable traffic congestion and long wait times during student drop-off and pick-up, especially as it shared its location with other schools, leading to regular gridlock.

Inefficient Communication

Dismissal announcements were made using a microphone system, disrupting classes and requiring manual data entry by administrative staff, which was time-consuming and prone to errors.

How Raptor SchoolPass Helped

Raptor SchoolPass revolutionized the daily operations at GCDS, particularly in managing student dismissals and attendance, significantly improving efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability.

Automated Dismissal Process

The introduction of ALPR (Automated License Plate Recognition) cameras with Raptor SchoolPass Dismissal Management at school entrances and exits facilitated an automated, silent dismissal process. This system reduced disruptions and enhanced security.

Improved Communication

The Raptor SchoolPass mobile app allowed parents to communicate arrival and dismissal changes electronically, significantly reducing the use of loudspeakers and eliminating the need for thousands of paper dismissal slips.

Implementation of Raptor SchoolPass led to a reduction in average carline wait times from 40 minutes to 20 minutes, enhancing parent satisfaction and operational efficiency.
