Creating a carpool informs the center that another family is authorized to pick up your student which helps keep the attendance records updated correctly and efficiently. You will still receive notifications for check-in and check-out of your student so you're always up to date!
🚨 Administrators will need to enable the carpool feature at the center before you can create a carpool. If you do not see the carpool option on your mobile application, please contact your administrator(s).
