Quiet bus calls for every classroom.
The office taps when a bus arrives. Classroom screens light up so teachers know exactly when to send riders down. No intercom needed.
No credit card to try. Works on any classroom screen.
Set it up in minutes. Run dismissal in seconds.
No apps to install, no student rosters to import. If a screen can open a web page, it can run Dismissal Magic.
Set up your school
Add your buses by color or number, choose how you call grades (like K–1, then 2–3, then 4–5), and pick your colors and sound.
Tap when a bus arrives
Whoever runs dismissal marks buses as they pull in and calls each grade group with one tap. Backups sign in with your school's PIN.
Classrooms light up
Every classroom screen shows a big bus pop-up and a chime for its group. Teachers send riders down—no interruptions over the intercom.
Everything dismissal needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Every plan includes every feature.
Call by grade group
Call K–1, 2–3 and 4–5 in order—or set up any groups you like. Call one bus or every bus that's here at once.
Full-screen bus pop-up
When a class is called, a cheerful bus fills the screen so no one misses it—even from the back of the room.
Chime, horn or bell
Choose a gentle chime, a bus horn, a school bell—or no sound at all.
Videos while they wait
Teachers can play a YouTube video. It pauses by itself when their group is called, then picks back up.
A street full of buses
Classrooms see buses pull in, wait in line, and head off when they leave—in the right order, every time.
English and Spanish
Show classroom screens in English, Spanish or both—great for dual-language schools.
No student data. Ever.
Dismissal Magic only knows your buses, your grade groups and what time things happen. There's nothing about students to protect, because we never collect it.

Questions schools ask
Do teachers need an account or login?
No. Teachers open your school's classroom link once, pick their grade group, and leave it up. That's it.
What screens does it work on?
Anything with a web browser: interactive boards, classroom TVs, Chromebooks, laptops and tablets. There's nothing to install.
Who can call buses?
Anyone with your school's master panel PIN—so a sub, office aide or assistant principal can run dismissal when you're out. You can change the PIN anytime.
What if the internet hiccups?
Classroom screens keep checking in on their own. If a screen loses its connection, a small dot turns orange, and it catches up as soon as it's back online.
What if our school's web filter blocks it?
Some school networks block websites until they've been reviewed. If a classroom screen can't open Dismissal Magic, ask your IT team to allow dismissalmagic.com and app.dismissalmagic.com. It's a one-time change, and we're happy to send them anything they need: hello@stemstarters.com.
Do you collect any student information?
No. Dismissal Magic stores your buses, grade groups and times—never student names, rosters or photos.
Can we use it for car riders and walkers?
Today Dismissal Magic is built for bus calls. Car rider calls (Carpool Magic) and walker calls are on the way, and founding schools help decide what comes next.
What happens after the free month?
Subscribe to keep going. If you don't, your setup is saved, so you can pick up right where you left off whenever you're ready.
Made by STEMstarters. Built by a teacher.
Dismissal Magic was built by an elementary school teacher who was tired of intercom interruptions and "Is that our bus?" at the end of every day. It's made for real classrooms: simple for the office, calm for teachers, and fun for kids.
