Returning Families (2023-2024)

If you already have the SDM mobile app downloaded on your mobile device, please make sure to update the app from the device App Store.  
 
In August before school starts, all AA families will receive a welcome email from School Dismissal Manager (SDM).
 
The Welcome emails will be sent to each email addresses on file in your Infinite Campus.
 
If you logged in and used SDM in the previous school year, the Welcome email will include your email address.  It is required that you change your password.  Click the FORGOT PASSWORD link to reset your password.  
 
If you did NOT login to SDM in the previous school year, the Welcome email will contain your login credentials.  Please login and change your password when prompted. 
 
Please review the Getting Setup in SDM procedures to complete the setup for the upcoming school year.
 
We have set the default dismissal as CARPOOL for all students. If your child's default is NOT carpool (Walker, Homework Club, etc), please update the Default Dismissal Instruction for each child. 

  • If you would like your default dismissal to be Carpool, select CARPOOL.  This will trigger the system to display a field to select a family name.  Select YOURSELF for who is picking up your child.  In the drop down list, select ANY PARENT OF [child name].  If you have multiple children, it does not matter which child name you pick as long as it says Parent Of.   This will authorize anyone logged into the SDM mobile app using your credentials to see the Check-In button during carpool.  THIS STEP DOES NOT APPLY IF MAKING THE CHANGE USING THE MOBILE APP!
 
Please review the SDM FAQ page for some helpful tips.
