SchoolPool: An Online Transportation Matching Platform for Families
To help families save time and money and help schools reduce traffic congestion and the long drop-off/pick-up experience, THES is launching a car pool program in partnership with SchoolPool on August 8th.
Through the SchoolPool Program THES families will be able to:
- Meet other parents and caregivers interested in carpooling their children to and from school and extracurricular activities—even biking or walking together!
- Request and offer a ride
- If you live close to school but want to switch off chaperone duties with another parent in the area, organize biking and walking matches.
- Set up short-term trips for an event or trips for a season or for the entire school year.
REGISTRATION AND BACKGROUND SCREENING
Any parents and other caregivers who are interested in participating in the SchoolPool Program will first have to complete a background check. Once the background check has been completed and approved, you will receive a welcome email from Go Together notifying you that you have access to start searching for families and creating trips. This entire process can take up to 5 business days.
We will be using the AISD background screening process that is used for school volunteers. On August 8th, we will share a form for you to sign up and direct you to the form to complete the background screening.
STAY TUNED!
