ParentSquare: Annual Summer Refresh

Every summer, ParentSquare archives content (primarily Posts) from the previous school year so when you login at the start of the new school year you won’t see content from the previous year. Similar to cleaning out a backpack for the start of a new school year, archiving helps to clean up the main feed of content and keeps content from getting outdated.

For all schools except Karen Acres, we’ll be archiving Posts on June 7, 2024. Karen Acres will be archiving Posts on June 27, 2024. Posts received before the archive dates will not be accessible once the archive completes. Posts received after the archive dates will be accessible for the duration of the summer and the upcoming 2024-25 school year.

Pikmykid App for Dismissal Procedures

Hello Families!

In our ongoing efforts to enhance your children’s safety, we have decided to continue using the PikMyKid Dismissal App for next year's dismissal process (24-25 school year). Throughout the country, it has been proven to simplify dismissal, reduce traffic congestion, and most importantly, improve overall safety.

The unique features of PikMyKid allow you, as parents, to easily change pick up modes, quickly delegate to an alternate individual for pickup, and even schedule for future pickup mode, pickup individual, and after school programs. Any dismissal changes must be entered in the app prior to 2:45pm that day.

To Learn a little more on your own, please check out the following link that will show you a few of the PikMyKid features: https://www.pikmykid.com/features/for-parents-previous/
