South Trimble Side Carpool Update
What has changed?
- We are directing the first 30 cars on the S. Trimble carpool to drive past the carpool entrance to line up toward the cul-de-sac. These cars, arriving first, will enter carpool first.
- Cars after the first 30 should line up in usual fashion on the right-hand side of the road. These cars, arriving after the first 30, will enter carpool after we clear the first 30.
What is the result?
- In effect we're taking the first half of the line and moving it up the street so that the line does not stretch so far down South Trimble Road.
How do I know what to do?
- If there is no line as you drive up South Trimble toward the school, proceed past the entrance and be one of the 30 cars toward the cul-de-sac.
- If there is a line already forming as you drive up South Trimble toward the school, get in line and pull off the right-hand side of the road.
- Have patience with us as the South Trimble carpool is a large group!
Here is a new and old image to assist you. The access road carpool remains unchanged.

September is Attendance Awareness Month
Did you know?
- Students can fall behind if they miss just a day or two every few weeks.

Set good nighttime routines and encourage attendance!
