Way to Go Schoolpool
Cherry Creek Academy has partnered with Schoolpool to assist families interested in connecting to set up carpools for daily school pick up and drop off, sports and activities transportation and more!
Each family will receive an email in July with their invitation to join Schoolpool. Signing up for Schoolpool is free, easy, and secure! There is no cost to participate. Your information will only be shared with families from our school. To maintain the highest level of privacy and security, CCA’s registration link is unique to families attending our school.
You do not have to provide your address; you can list your profile using a nearby intersection. The following information will be viewable by others: parent and student name, home location (address or intersection), and email. Optionally, parents may share student grade, gender and phone number. Comments can be added to indicate special requests or preferences (i.e., “looking for a walk buddy in the mornings,” “can provide morning rides,” “student is in afterschool activities,” “currently carpooling,” etc.).
The more families register, the more likely you are to find good matches. Even if your family doesn’t need a ride, consider signing up to see other families that live nearby. Your participation builds a stronger school community.
SchoolPool Tips
1. Get acquainted
- Contact the parents on your list and arrange a meet up
2. Exchange important information
- Consider providing a copy of your drivers' license and insurance
3. Decide on a schedule
- How many days a week? What time will you pick up?
4. Plan ahead and be on time.
5. Establish a back-up plan.
- What happens if someone is running late?
6. Set ground rules
- Consider a trial period
7. Have fun!
There is no obligation to participate. The information is a great resource to meet nearby CCA families for other reasons, such as temporary transportation needs, play dates, baby sitters, summer BBQs, etc. Your information will only be shared with CCA families; Way to Go will not sell it to other businesses, agencies or third parties. Likewise, we ask you to treat the information with privacy.
If you have questions or did not receive an invitation, please contact Shoshana Howley, Director of Community Engagement.
Cherry Creek Academy and Way to Go assume no responsibility, but provide a platform for you to connect with families in your area. CCA will not set up or manage carpools. Way to Go does not run background checks, confirm valid drivers’ licenses or assess insurance coverage on participants. You are advised to screen participants to your personal satisfaction and check your own insurance coverage for carpooling to assure you are covered under these voluntary arrangements. No drivers, vehicles or insurance are provided. Questions about the program can be directed to Way to Go at 303-458-6775 or waytogo@drcog.org.
