Make Dismissal
a Breeze & Safe

Transform your end of day chaos into a stress-free and ultra safe experience for staff, parents and students with Pikmykid’s award-winning school dismissal manager.

CURRENT SCHOOL REALITIES

Dismissal is often a chaotic time of day.

Many schools struggle with outdated dismissal processes that cause confusion and leave students vulnerable.

If your school is still using walkie talkies, spreadsheets, or front office calls to manage dismissal, you’re missing out on a streamlined process.

Take the burden off your staff, make it easy to communicate with parents, and most importantly build safety into daily arrival and dismissal.

Our experience has been extremely positive. We went from using Pikmykid to enhance our student drop-off and pick-up at one elementary school to buying it for our entire district. Our high school principal is a big fan of the hallway pass feature. I am particularly pleased with the emergency notification and reunification functions.

Pikmykid makes dismissal easy. Pikmykid is a fantastic tool to afternoon dismissal. When we first rolled it out, we had questions during the first few days of school, but Pikmykid responded to our questions very quickly. As a Tech Director at the school, I'd say that they have the best technical support of any company I have ever dealt with. They respond quickly with the correct answers, so my impression is that their tech support people are sharp and well-trained. I'm so happy that we chose Pikmykid.

I have been very happy with this product. Pikmykid has increased our safety and efficiency during dismissal. PikMyKid has not only decreased the overall amount of time our dismissal team spends on getting our students safely to cars, it has increased our accuracy in dismissal plan communication. Our dismissal time prior to PikMyKid was about 23 minutes, this includes classroom communication, organization of a dismissal room and walking students out to cars or signing parents into the building. Our current, daily time averages 12 mins. in total.

Love Pikmykid! Very positive! I don't know how we would do car rider dismissal without it. Our internet was down the first two weeks of school and the teachers had a hard time without Pikmykid. Pikmykid is easy for all stakeholders to use. Teachers rely on the dismissal progress to know when to send our car riders to the front. Parents rely on the app to get through the pick up line quickly and efficiently. Students know to look for their names on the teachers' screens to move to the front for dismissal. It is a great program!

My overall experience with Pikmykid is extremely positive. It's actually an absolute necessity when you are dismissing 100 kids daily. I like the fact it's reliable and easy to use. This helps keep the kids safe. I also really like all the reports I can generate to help with record keeping.

“I have been at other schools that didn’t use Pikmykid. The end of the day was pretty chaotic. With Pikmykid, it keeps the kids safe, it’s easy for us to use, and because dismissal is so fast, it extends the teaching day.”
