## Child Pick Up Screen

At the *Child Pick Up* screen you can view the children for whom this person is authorized. To change their order use the green *Up/Dn Arrows*. This determines the order in which they appear at the check in screen, for example, you may want their own children to appear first, followed by the children of friends or neighbors.
