GoKid Carpool App

We are very excited to launch a partnership with GoKid - a carpooling platform designed to help connect families, build community, and reduce traffic. The GoKid carpool planner helps organize carpools for school, after-school activities, and more - with families you trust from the GUS school community.

Families will be able to easily find carpool partners, set up, and manage carpools on their iOS and Android apps, and set driving schedules with participating families. This is free for all GUS families. Please keep an eye out for how to log into your account. If you have any questions, please reach out to Emily Ahearn.
