Quarantining and Contact Tracing
As the COVID-19 cases in our county and surrounding counties have climbed recently, Wayne County Public Health has shared some important information about Quarantining and Contact Tracing that is now available on our website under the COVID-19 Information Hub. In the event that your student needs to quarantine, these are good references to have. The safety and health of our students and staff continues to be a top priority and we continue to practice mask wearing, good hand hygiene, and social distancing of 3ft in all of our schools in an effort to minimize exposure.

Elementary School Picture Day
Richard Mann Elementary is using a program called PikMyKid to help organize the school dismissal process and improve safety. This program is an app downloaded onto your smart phone.The app can be found in the app store and will allow you to notify the school of pick-up changes and authorize others to pick-up your child from school, alert you when your child has been picked up or sent home on the bus, as well as help organize the car line during pick-up.
The registration process is easy and we have included several resources below to help you understand how to use the application and assist you with the app. Please make sure when registering you use your personal current mobile phone number or the app will not allow you to access your child’s information; this is for security reasons.
If you do not think the school has your mobile number on file or if your child does not appear in your app’s home page, contact support@pikmykid.com after registration, with your child’s name, school, grade, and your updated contact information.
Anyone who will be picking up your child should also register with the application. Their screen will be blank and they will not have any authorization until you allow it within the app.
To learn more about how to use the PikMyKid App, be sure to watch the PikMyKid Parent Training Video.
For more information, go to the Gananda website.
