Assistant Principal
5.0

Jenna J.: Hi, my name is Jenna. I'm an assistant principal. I give Pikmykid five out of five. For more reviews, click below. Some of the things we used before Pikmykid were walkie-talkies, just calling into the classrooms and into the gym to get our students as cars pulled through. We utilized a Google Doc for our older kids and we just found that there's a lot of inconsistencies with both of those methods. And so when Pikmykid showed us what they were about, it seemed like a great fit. We originally chose Pikmykid because with COVID we needed to do social distancing and it allowed us to get kids from rooms all over the school. Even now past COVID times, we just love the simplicity of it and the ease of it, and so we've kept it on. Onboarding Pikmykid and getting our parents up and rolling with it actually went smoother than I anticipated. The QR codes that they provide for families to help them get connected to their own student on the app helped tremendously. And then we were able to download all of the important information like phone numbers and names right from our PowerSchool Storehouse of information. And so between that and the QR codes, we had very few families who struggled to connect and it went pretty smoothly. If you are thinking about using Pikmykid, I would say just give it a try. It sounds daunting at the beginning, but then once you make the plunge, it's been so beneficial to us and so much easier than I thought it would be. I really can't imagine not using it anymore.
