-When multiple families independently elect to share transportation duties this is an example of a true **carpool**, contrasted with parents individually picking up their own children. We attempt to distinguish between these two differences by referring to the former as //Carpool// and the latter as //Pick Up// but you may find in either the documentation or the application where we have lapsed and have referred to //Pick Up// as carpool, but probably not ever the other way around. If you notice such an error it will be appreciated if you bring it to our attention.+When multiple families elect to share transportation duties this is an example of a true **carpool**, contrasted with parents individually picking up their own children.

 Depending upon school policy the most expeditious method for parents from different families to ride together is to provide a copy of their Pick Up ID placard to the other family in which case on those days on which someone is picking up members from both families both placards are displayed for dismissal entry. Depending upon school policy the most expeditious method for parents from different families to ride together is to provide a copy of their Pick Up ID placard to the other family in which case on those days on which someone is picking up members from both families both placards are displayed for dismissal entry.

 The parent of the student(s) who will be riding with another family may set their own student(s) to be called for an alternate number. For example, two families with Pick Up IDs of 10 and 20 where the family with Pick Up ID 20 will be transporting all of the students on a given date. The parent of the students with Pick Up ID 10 selects each student for an override to Alternate Pick Up ID 20. When Pick Up ID 20 is entered on that date, all of the students with the normal Pick Up ID of 20 and all students with an override to Pick Up ID 20 will be called. The parent of the student(s) who will be riding with another family may set their own student(s) to be called for an alternate number.

 +===== Mobile Device Student Association with Parent Call for Pick Up =====
 +For schools that allow parents to call for students using the mobile app, parents may share their student credentials with another parent so that the other parent may call for the desired students on each specific day.
