Enhancing School Safety & The Student Pickup Experience Using AWS With Pikmykid

Few things are as stressful for elementary school personnel and parents as after-school dismissals. The long-standing tradition of dismissing kids using clipboards and walkie-talkies is time-consuming for both teachers and parents. And not only that, it is also prone to mistakes. North Joshua Elementary School (NJE) in Burleson, TX, was one of the many schools in this predicament, until its principal at the time decided to look for solutions to make its dismissal process less chaotic. She turned to Pikmykid and its Dismissal Management software, all built on Amazon Web Services (AWS). In the 7 years since, Pikmykid has saved NJE teachers time, provided flexibility during emergencies, and even reduced the school’s carbon footprint.
