Open the PikMyKid App. Click on Pickup. Then Announce. That’s it!

From the “Pickup” tab of the parent app, select the toggle off (gray out) the bar next to the child’s name who does not need to be announced. Once you have finished, select the green “Announce” button at the bottom of the home screen to announce for the other children.

1. Select the child’s name from your “children” tab along the bottom of the app. Tap on the triple bar icon in green next to your school’s name to make changes for multiple students at once.
2. Choose the correct calendar date for when you want the change to start. In case, you have selected multiple students. Click on the three-dot icon that automatically appears after selecting multiple students.
3. Select “change pickup”
4. On the next screen:
5. Ensure the desired date is selected or select the applicable date.
6. If this change should repeat, select the dropdown for “Repeat this Pickup?” and choose from the available options. Examples include “daily”, “weekly”, “monthly” and “weekdays”.
7. If you choose to repeat the change you will then have more options appear to select an end date for the change and any exceptions. Ex: you could select daily change, then click to unselect certain dates as part of an exception.
8. Select the desired pickup mode option from the drop-down as well as select who is picking up (yourself/the other primary guardian OR someone else). If you choose “change selection” you will be able to choose from your Pikmykid contact list OR import a new contact from your phone’s contacts. We highly recommend setting up Pikmykid-approved contacts in advance.

The announce button will be grayed out or inactive most of the time. It becomes active while on the school campus and once the dismissal time has started (this is usually enabled by the schools 15 mins before the school dismissal bell). If you are unable to announce please check the required permissions — Your location services are turned ON.
