Keep calm and carpool on

With school back in swing, juggling carpool responsibilities is one task almost every parent dreads. Conquer your school carpool with these tips:

• Create a group text, email or Facebook group to easily communicate with other parents in your carpool group.

• Establish a consistent schedule to avoid confusion. For example, assign each parent the same day each week.

• Avoid driving in a panic or rush by leaving plenty of time to make it to your destination.

• Keep an eye on traffic and check road closures before you leave on the WWL-TV News app. Download the app for Apple or Android.
