After reading a success story in the media, the school’s assistant principal contacted Pikmykid to learn more about the program. The client immediately decided to implement the software at his school. The implementation process, despite being in the middle of school year when campus was in full swing and dismissal procedures were in place, was effortless. Due to Pikmykid’s “Core 10” implementation process and help with change management, every part of the process was clearly delineated and simple to follow. The Pikmykid app allows the school’s parents to log in and make pick-up changes. It also automatically alerts parents of any unforeseen dismissal delays, status updates and emergencies regarding their children. During dismissal time, parents are able to “check in” once they enter the car line, so their student can quickly be ready for retrieval in the appropriate order. Teachers use a tablet in the car line and bus loop, and with one touch, notate where the children have been dismissed to. This creates a record for safety and allows the teachers to manage the dismissal process with one device. Additionally, school administrators have a dashboard view of pick-up changes, dismissal process and other management capabilities.
