All Families Who Use the Car line – even occasionally should register using this form.  Each family/carpool will be assigned a number which needs to be displayed on the dash when the vehicle enters the car line cue for dismissal.  The number will entered by staff into an app which will broadcast to students in the building. The students will be sent out as you approach the building and will know where your car will be located.  After an initial learning phase, this should speed up our car line dismissal and keep the students out of the elements.
