Carpooling at Renaissance - Share the Ride!
Carpool with Schoolpool
Renaissance Secondary School partners with Schoolpool, a free and secure carpooling program that helps families get to school and activities more easily.
Why carpool?
-
Helps families: Share the responsibility of transportation.
-
Helps our school: Reduces traffic and improves safety around campus.
-
Helps our community: Connects nearby RSS families and builds relationships.
Free, secure, and school-only:
Participation is free, and your information is shared only with verified Renaissance Secondary School families. To ensure privacy and security, families must complete a short form to confirm school affiliation before accessing Schoolpool.
How to get started:
-
Complete the secure Renaissance verification form.
-
Once your Renaissance affiliation has been confirmed, you will receive an email within 5-7 business days with a secure link to create your Schoolpool account.
-
Upon receiving your secure link:
-
Create an account and enter your address or intersection.
-
Add comments to indicate interest, such as: can provide morning rides in exchange for afternoon rides, student is in after-school activities, looking for a walking buddy in the mornings, etc.
-
Find and contact interested families.
-
Pro-tip: Use a computer. While it works on a smartphone and tablet, there is more functionality on a desktop.
Carpooling tips for success:
-
Connect with families before your first carpool day.
-
Exchange emergency contacts.
-
Set a clear schedule and back-up plan.
-
Be on time, set expectations, and enjoy the ride.
The more families who participate, the better the matches. Even if you don’t need a ride, signing up to help drive strengthens our Renaissance community.
