Download the Parent App:
Apple App Store
Google Play Store
This app will be used for afternoon dismissal as well as all changes in dismissal. Dismissal changes must be made within the app. Emails and phone calls will not be accepted. The app is available for download in your phone's app store. Instructional guides for use are located below with videos! The PikMyKid app is used to make all dismissal changes.
FILL OUT THE VHE TRANSPORTATION FORM HERE: EVERY parent/guardian must have the PikMyKid app and MUST fill out the VHE form for the 2023/24 school year!!!!
Please be patient...once you fill out the form, your student will not automatically appear. VHE has to upload into the platform itself. Thank you.
NOTES:
1) You do not have to enter a student ID when registering the app...if it asks you for one, don’t worry...you don’t need it. All that means is that we have not uploaded your data from the form yet. Data is being uploaded in groups. Please be patient...your child will appear in the app after the data is uploaded on our end, we promise!
2) You must enable notifications AND location services for the PikMyKid Parent app on your phone!3) If you or a delegate is not listed on a particular pick-up day, you will be asked to go into the main office for identity verification!
