PLE Dismissal Process
We use Pik My Kid (PMK) to manage our end-of-day student dismissal. It is crucial that you follow the steps below to ensure your child’s dismissal is accurate every day. PMK is the system we use for all dismissal methods.
Please make sure to update your student’s dismissal information as needed.
Failing to do so may result in unexpected trips to the school to pick up your child.
