Pick Up Patrol 2026

PickUp Patrol MUST be Updated each year!

If you haven't updated your child's Default Dismissal Plan, please do so today!

WE USE PICK UP PATROL FOR ALL ATTENDANCE & DISMISSAL EVENTS
If your child is going to be absent, tardy or has a dismissal change please be sure to update PickUp Patrol accordingly. New this year: MIDDAY PLAN CHANGES. This new field has Late Arrivals, Leave & Return as well as Early Dismissal options. You can enter information any time - no need to wait until the day of absence, tardy or change. Download the website to your phone home page for added ease. If you still need help, contact the Loker office at (508) 358-8601 or PickUp Patrol at support@pickuppatrol.net. We are happy to help!
