Dynamic attendance software enhancing school efforts against chronic absenteeism and promoting student achievement.

CURRENT SCHOOL REALITIES

Frequently Reporting Inaccurate Unexcused Absences & Tardies

In recent times, many districts have encountered difficulties in bringing students back to classrooms, leading to a decline in educational standards. 

Each school day holds significant value in a student’s academic journey. Research highlights the pivotal role of teacher effectiveness in fostering academic success. However, even the most effective teachers cannot make an impact if students are absent from class. If your school is still using daily attendance robocalls, you may be overlooking innovative strategies that could improve attendance rates and elevate student achievement.

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!
