Ward Guard is a school pickup management platform built for safety, accountability, and peace of mind.
Schools use Ward Guard to manage the entire pickup process. From morning attendance to verified guardian pickups, all from a single platform. Parents stay informed at every step, with real-time notifications and full visibility into who is authorized to collect their child.

BUILT FOR SECURITY
Every pickup is tracked. Temporary guardians require parent approval before a child is released. Guardian identity is verified with a photo before the parent makes the final call. No child leaves without authorization.
REAL-TIME NOTIFICATIONS
Parents receive instant alerts at every stage when their child is called, when a guardian requests pickup, and when the pickup is confirmed.
Ward Guard is currently available to schools by invitation. Contact your school administrator to get started.
