How Veniae Came About:

Veniae came to fruition when my husband and I realized our daughters' school needed a safer, more efficient way to dismiss students at the end of the school day.

Thinking about the process, we researched how other schools typically dismiss their students as well and how we could improve the processes as a whole.

Understanding there are other dismissal alternatives out there, we set about creating Veniae with two key focus areas in mind, safety and efficiency.

Over the past several years, we have partnered with our daughters' school in creating a system that is not only efficient, but much safer than leading competitors.

Veniae allows students to remain inside the school building until their parent is at a location in which the student can easily connect with them. No more waiting outside in harsh weather conditions. No more worrying about students wandering off while waiting for a parent. No more car line clogs or having to loop back around because your student wasn't outside yet.

With Veniae, we give everyone peace of mind that their student is safe and warm inside the building until they arrive.

Our mission is to equip schools with a safe, efficient, and affordable dismissal system that will confidentially connect parents or caregivers with their students in a timely and secure manner.

A Huge Realization

It wasn't until the horrific 2019 STEM School shooting in Colorado, that we realized how incredibly valuable Veniae had become.

Laura had been working as the front desk assistant at our daughter's school the day of the shooting. Her principal had started to receive word that there was a situation taking place at the STEM school, just a mere 10 miles away. And of course, the situation is taking place very close to when they were set to dismiss students for the day.

Laura's principal received word from the sheriffs office that all schools would remain in a lock out situation, meaning school continues as normal, but no one can enter or exit the building.

As Laura and her Principal knew parents would be arriving soon to pick-up their students and knowing parents weren't allowed inside the building, they reached out to their school resource officer to ask for guidance on how to proceed with pick-up.

The school resource officer at the time knew how their school's dismissal system worked, so her principal was given the clearance to release students as normal.

This is when we realized what Veniae had become. A very safe and efficient way to dismiss students from school, even during times of chaos.
