Parents and Guardians,
Thank you for you patience during dismissal today. The Pikmykid app went down for the entire district which caused a severe delay. Dismissal is not typically this lengthy and once again we appreciate your kindness and patience. The district has already confirmed that that the app is back up and running.
Just a few reminders.
1. Please update the Pikmykid app as to how your child will get home. Only students being dismissed as "walker" in the app will come out to the flagpole at 2:45pm. If you do not want to wait in the car rider line, then change the dismissal mode to "Walker".
2. All K-5 Walkers get released out the front of the building.
3. VPK and Kindergarten car riders (along with their siblings) get dismissed in the back parking lot. Please assign those students to "Car Rider Line 2" in the app.
4. Car tags are being printed for recently registered students. Those will be sent home this week.
If you need assistance with changing your students dismissal mode in Pikmykid, please call the main office at (904)924-3126.
