SCHOOLPOOL MARIN TRIPSHARING TO SCHOOL AND NOW AFTER SCHOOL & FREE PEET’S CARDS!

Tired of the drop-off and pick-up queue at school and chauffeuring your kids all over town after school? Feeling guilty about the effect on the environment? Need to find a carpool now that it’s starting to rain? SchoolPool Marin can help! Download the flyer here.

We are asking all families to visit SchoolPoolMarin.org which offers an easy way to find carpools or walking, biking and bus buddies to school AND now to after-school events like sports practices and games, rehearsals, classes, after-school care-any destinations you input.

How does it work, you say? The website e-mails a match list of other registered parents who travel along the same route as you to school or other events. Only the name and contact info that you provide is on the lists. If needed, you can expand the range to find other parents to meet at a rendezvous point.

There is no obligation. You e-mail or phone each other to discuss your schedules and to see what works. There are tips for forming new SchoolPools. Please take a few minutes to check it out and to sign-up!

The first 500 families who register this year will receive Peet’s Coffee and Tea Coupons.
