We will be using PikMyKid for all student dismissals again this year,  beginning on the first day of school. Use the links below to 1) download the app on your phone and 2) learn all you need to know about using the app. A few tips below:

• Use email/phone number you used for PowerSchool when registering on the PikMyKid app
• If you have issues, don't stress! Volunteers/staff will be available at walker and carpool pickup to assist
• For buses, it is imperative that parents fill out the first day of school survey so the staff can assign bus numbers (see below in Meet the Teacher documents if you won't be in attendance, to fill out virtually)
