[quote=Anonymous]OP, at our high school (not South Lakes), some parents in your boat are working through the PTSA (web site notices, e-mails to parents via PTSA list) to find carpooling partners who also want to transport curricular transfer students. Not sure how many folks are signing up on a carpool list yet, since our own student (also a transfer) doesn't need a carpool. But I do think it's proactive and smart of parents to be working to organize a list of interested families. I know that your own student is not yet in high school and you're looking ahead, so you might need to wait until HS starts next fall in order to go via your HS PTA to get word out to parents, but I'd start right now with maybe putting out word in your MS that if anyone's going to be sending a kid to South Lakes in the fall, you're interested in talking now about transportation options.

FYI, due to privacy laws, the school itself cannot give you contact information for other families whose students are curricular transfer students - I think that is why the PTA is the one getting word out at our school. The PTA can't provide names directly either (and doesn't know which kids are curricular transfers anyway) but a good PTA has lots of ways to send out general information to many if not most parents, and the parents then can contact PTA if they're interested in carpooling. Maybe you'd be the one to organize a list!
