Pikmykid Parent 17+

Love idea… Would like to see more though

The idea of this app is great! But I just think it needs to be expanded a little more. It asked for a lot of information but it doesn’t seem to utilize in the application of the app/program. Both parents should have full access and if for some reason a child isn’t picked up on time, notification should go immediately to the other parent and emergency contacts. I know it just really seems like it says when the chow was picked up but there’s no notification if the child is not picked up by the parent that was supposed to pick them up. Not sure if that’s left up to the school to do but having an app for something like this would feel more assuring if you got a notification for any of the important notices for your child, pick up or no pick up. So you know your child is not standing out somewhere alone etc. because if not then the other parent is counting on hearing from the parent picking up the child which makes the notification a moot point if you still have to do all of that work. If something happens to the parent picking up the child, such as a car accident, which may leave them on able to call, at least the other parent (& emergency contacts ) knows something is off if they are busy at work.

Great app

I love the PikMyKid app it comes in handy. It manages the entire student dismissal process in a smart, secure, and expeditious manner and provide real time and updates and change management options to parents. What I enjoy the most about the app is that I can always go to the app and change how my child will get home. For example my child was a car rider then she just started (APEC) afterschool two weeks ago. All I had to do was go to the app and put/update that she no longer a car rider anymore and that she is APEC (after school) for now on. I don’t have to worry about a teacher forgetting that she is now to stay after school. This app make me feel good that my child is safe because the app notifies you when your child has been picked up and who she is pick up by. Also the school pick up is way quicker and easy soon the person see you are in the car line to get your student/child the PikMyKid app will notify you also. Also I had to update my phone number in the PikMyKid app they assisted me right away and updated my number as soon as possible no wait time or nothing. This app opens the lines of communication allowing parents to have better control over who picks up their students and when.

New to the app

This is the first year our school is using the Pikmykid app. All I did was log in with my email and password, as the school had done the initial setting up, which made this process so easy. I wish we could assign more than 2 people for the app. I would have rather given more access to my sister who picks up my kids from school, more than my ex-fiancé. I understand that the school sets the cut off time to change pick up person at 10am which makes it hard for me since their dad is so inconsistent with his schedule. Also wish there was an easier way to view the calendar and what days were assigned. It could be just me, not knowing exactly how everything in the app works but I’ll get there. I love the announcement feature and feel that pickup is faster and smoother because of it.
