As you approach the school during dismissal, having the app use location settings will allow it to automatically announce your arrival and place in the pickup line.

Parents: This Wednesday through Friday we will be trying some practice runs with the PikMyKid dismissal system. What we need from parents is to make sure that you have the PikMyKid parent app downloaded and set up. Your child received registration QR codes several weeks ago. Once in the app, make sure to select the dismissal method for your child: bus, parent-pickup, etc. You can also select certain school-sponsored after school activities such as: After School Explorers, Middle School Track, Girls on the Run, etc.
