Case Study: University of Tampa achieves safer, faster student dismissals with PikMyKid

University of Tampa - Customer Case Study

University of Tampa faced a chaotic, time-consuming dismissal process at its 700-student suburban Florida elementary school: parents were emailing, calling and faxing last-minute pick-up changes, creating confusion for students and staff and raising safety concerns. To address this, the school turned to PikMyKid’s school dismissal software and mobile app to streamline communications and manage end-of-day student pick-up.

PikMyKid implemented its “Core 10” rollout and provided change-management support so the app, teacher tablets, and administrator dashboard went live quickly even mid-year. Parents can update pick-up plans and “check in” from the car line, teachers record dismissals with one touch, and automated alerts notify families of delays or emergencies. As a result, PikMyKid helped the school significantly improve safety, reduce car rider dismissal time by one-third and bus dismissal time by 40%, cut staff time spent shuffling students, and earn overwhelmingly positive parent feedback (nine out of 10 parents rated it A+).
