I sent a special carpool message to all parents this afternoon. Help us with carpooling each day. I realize that the bus problem this year has put more traffic in the carpool than usual. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Let’s show our young people that the adult drivers can honor the carpool guidelines, even though it is often inconvenient.
