As parents, the back-to-school season is always a major event. Besides the hustle and bustle of grocery shopping and school supplies, transportation to and from school is another inevitable need.
1. Establish Communication Channels
To avoid any mix-ups, establish effective communication channels among the parents and drivers participating in the carpool. You can use apps like GroupMe and WhatsApp to create chat groups to easily share school schedules and any changes to pick-up and drop-off times.
2. Follow the Safety Protocols
Ensure that your child understands the safety protocols established for the carpool. Teach them to fasten their seatbelt and wait until the car comes to a complete stop before exiting.
3. Plan for Emergencies
In any situation, accidents can happen, so be prepared. In a car accident or any other emergency, parents, and drivers should have an established plan to follow. This includes knowing how to contact emergency services, identifying a location for meeting up, and exchanging emergency contact information.
