Dear VTT Families,

We are excited to share that, after careful consideration, VTT will now be using a program to help organize the school dismissal process and improve safety. This program is a phone application downloaded onto your smart phone (found in Google Play or iTunes App store) and will allow us to dismiss students in an orderly and safe manner to the person picking them up when they arrive on our campus. The app will also allow you to notify VTT of pick-up changes, authorize others to pick-up your child(ren), 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 ask that all parents register with the phone application as soon as possible. Please make sure you register with your personal current mobile phone number or the app will not allow you to access your child’s information for security reasons.
 
Owing to COVID-19 social distancing restrictions, at present, parents will not be able to enter our campus. We intend to launch PikMyKid on the very first day of school so we ask all families to download the app onto their smart phone ASAP and set up their account.

***If you try activating the app and you are not successful, this means we do not have the correct mobile number for you in our system. If this is the case, please email lfinkelstein@talmudtorah.com with your current mobile number so we can update the system.***
