We have been using PikMyKid for many years now and find that it has really helped with our dismissal process. PMK made some very exciting upgrades to help schools during the COVID-19 crisis. We were able to make our own questions that parents needed to answer before they dropped of their child for the day. After using this for a while, we realized our questions were too general for the situation. It was very easy for us to go back in and change those questions, both English and Spanish. Dismissal is a breeze and quiet! We would recommend PMK to any school who has a need for an easy, organized dismissal system.
It is hard to find a "con" with this program.

On the staff side, very user friendly. Much better than walkies and overhead announcements.
While the customer satisfaction reps are GREAT, I wish there was a way to upload corrections to the database. I also wish that rather than using their generated "School ID Number", that the primary key for students was the actual student number issued by the state.
Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy our platform is able to help schools like yours. We do have the ability for schools to use their own ID numbers for students, but mostly recommend against it for security purposes (used in the app for pick up, can be displayed on car-tags for quick lookup etc) and also length of numbers could effect efficiency in some cases during dismissal. If you would like to adjust the IDs ahead of the 2021-22 school year please let us know-- we would be glad to help. We also offer SFTP sync options if you would like to explore that for automatic data corrections via your SIS. We look forward to helping further enhance your PikMyKid experience!

Pikmykid app has streamlined our parent pick up system during a pandemic. We needed a safe and reliable way to get students to their parents/guardians quickly because of the large number of students being picked up in the short time. I am thankful we have this program in place.
The software doesn't constantly link with our opperating system and so we have to manually enter new students. I think it would also be easier for the system to already have the next student number in place so that we don't have keep track of the next students number.

Very user friendly, helps keep track of how students are going home on a daily basis. Allows me to remove students who are absent or left early just for a particular day so that those doing dismissal can focus solely on the students that are in the school.
Personally I have not found anything that I have been discouraged about.

Our dismissal procedures are MUCH safer and can be audited! Things are much more streamlined while simultaneously increasing safety.
The software is relatively easy to use and very reliable. It's helped increase the safety and security of our K-5 dismissal procedures.
Some parts of it can be a bit inflexible. Some updates in the past have caused issues; however, they were always quick to communicate workarounds and fixes.
John, Thank you for taking the time to review PikMyKid. We greatly appreciate it. We are so happy to hear that "The software is relatively easy to use and very reliable". Our team works around the clock to make sure we are here for our schools. In regards to updates causing issues, thank you for saying "they were always quick to communicate workarounds and fixes". Our team works hard to update the per the majority of school requests. The PikMyKid tech team is thoughtful in testing and like all things have a hiccup or two on occasion, thank you for understanding and working with us. Thank you, John, The PikMyKid Team
