Case Study: Monroe Elementary School achieves faster, safer dismissals and streamlined communication with PikMyKid

Pikmykid Expedites Emergency Drills, Redefines Dismissal & Clarifies Communication At Monroe Elementary

Monroe Elementary School, a 2nd–6th grade building in Monroe, OH with over 1,100 students, struggled with time-consuming, manual dismissal processes and no reliable system for rapid reunification during drills or emergencies. To address chronic confusion, heavy staff workload, and safety concerns, the school evaluated digital options and selected PikMyKid, a parent-communication and dismissal management platform.

Using PikMyKid’s app and emergency reunification features, Monroe moved from clipboards and spreadsheets to real-time parent updates, pickup-mode changes, hall-pass tracking, and verified student check-ins. PikMyKid gave staff instant visibility into where students were and who had picked them up, dramatically speeding dismissals, reducing errors, improving parent satisfaction, and freeing assistant principals and secretaries for other work—benefits the school has seen since adopting PikMyKid in May 2023 for its 1,100+ students.
