Carpooling at SMA
What is it?
We are pleased to partner with Schoolpool, a program to help parents get their students to/from school. It’s free and there is no obligation to participate. Schoolpool is a service of Way to Go, a federally funded program of the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG). The Schoolpool secure mapping service can be used for consistent carpooling schedules or emergency trips, and is a great resource to meet nearby families for other reasons, such as playdates and babysitters.
