Skip the Trip!

Every morning, 300 cars travel to and from our school to drop off students.
Put these end-to-end and it's a line stretching over a mile. EMS was never designed for this kind of traffic, and it's evident in the backed up roads, the slow crawl in the parking lots, the close calls with student safety, and the high blood pressure of our school admin team.

Starting after Spring Break, we're asking you to ask yourself … can I skip this solo car trip? Can we use the yellow school buses, carpools, walking, and biking to school whenever possible?

We're serious about this, and we need everyone's input!

Bonus: completing this survey earns points for your student's House!
