Case Study: 700-Student Elementary School achieves faster, safer dismissal with PikMyKid

School dismissal time is faster and safer

700-Student Elementary School, a suburban Florida elementary with 700 students, was struggling with a confusing, time‑consuming dismissal process driven by multiple disconnected methods for changing pick‑up and growing safety concerns. The school engaged PikMyKid and its school dismissal software to streamline communication and manage dismissal changes more securely.

PikMyKid deployed its Core 10 implementation and mobile app—allowing parents to make pick‑up changes, check in from the car line, receive automatic delay/emergency alerts, and giving teachers a tablet and administrators a dashboard to track dismissals. The solution significantly improved student safety, reduced car rider dismissal time by one‑third, cut bus dismissal time by 40%, eliminated extra staff shuffling, and earned strong parent approval (nine out of ten rated it an A+).
