Williston Schools

Williston Schools will be using PickUp Patrol to help better manage our dismissal process. PickUp Patrol is a quick and convenient way to make changes to your student's dismissal plans, and provides a layer of safety and security to our dismissal process by authorizing and automatically tracking plan changes. This is also how you will notifying the school when your student is absent, arriving late or leaving for an appointment, all from a central point of contact.

PickUp Patrol is an online platform that manages dismissal time more efficiently and safely. Parents conveniently submit plan changes for their children using the free app. The office efficiently tracks absences, notifcations of late arrivals, early dismissals, and end-of-day plans. The system also helps speed up dismissal time and adds a layer of security for your children. If you would like to learn more, go to www.pickuppatrol.net.

The school will send out emails to all K-8 families in August with instructions and a sign up link. Once you have created your account and added each of your students, you will set up and confirm the "default plan". You can always change the default plan later as needed, and you can easily submit single or multiple day plan changes - even weeks in advance!

Absent is a type of Plan Change in PUP. If your student will be absent for any reason, please submit in PUP by 8:30am. Include the reason for absence in the note when submitting.
