	School run - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The School Run is a modern phenomenon associated with parents taking their children to school by car.
		Ironically, the risk of children being run over near their schools is much higher than in the past due to all the parents driving their own children to school and parking in unsafe places near the school gates.
		It is claimed that the school run is responsible for a large amount of the traffic problems in the morning rush hour.

	Family Involvement in Children's Education; Appendix A - Cane Run Elementary School
		School staff maintain flexible schedules because they recognize that parents are often unable to visit the school or attend meetings due to transportation difficulties or an inability to be excused from work.
		Cane Run offers parents the opportunity to experience first hand what their children are learning in an environment that is pleasant and non-threatening, an arrangement that can be especially attractive to parents who may doubt their ability to help their children master new content.
		School staff estimate that an average of 30 parents visit the school daily, but that five years ago that average was close to zero.

	Observer \| School-run parents face crackdown at rush hour
		Officials are determined to crack down on parents who drive their children to school in journeys that sometimes involve less than a mile.
		Measures to be introduced include reducing the number of parking spaces outside schools and improvements to pedestrian crossings, cycle lanes and bus services to encourage other ways of getting to school.
		Critics of any crackdown will point to evidence that the school-run problem has been exaggerated and figures showing a reduction in traffic in school holidays can be partly explained by the fact parents take holidays when their children are off school.

		And schools should work with police and transport companies to come up with ways of improving behaviour on school buses, including the use of rewards for good conduct, said ministers.

		THE worst school run in Britain is not, it transpires, the one that I join every weekday during term time, but a certain "road from Hell" in the London borough of Hampstead.
		The mothers come back in the afternoons long before school is out, "pitching" for those coveted parking spaces, squatting as near to the gates as possible, even if this means occupying a bus stop, as one woman did (bringing along her knitting to pass the time).

		The local authority do not have the power or indeed time to deal with all perceived problems outside schools and the Police also have limited resources to put into this area, therefore your own efforts are an important part in managing the use of cars at the school.
		It is, however, regarded as important to reduce the number of vehicles making the school run as this is now seen as a major contributor to congestion on the roads, environmental pollution and a hindrance to a child's development as a road user.
		Within your school policy you can include school travel plans, expected behaviour from both parents and children with regard to how they travel to school and their behaviour in around the school grounds.

		But as well as being one of the "greenest" schools in the country it is one of the most hi-tech and it even "thinks" for itself, automatically opening or closing windows to make sure the temperature is right and closing blinds to prevent glare.
		And already a significant number of the green-minded youngsters are cycling to school or walking rather than arriving by car.

		The problem of the "school run" is a recent one, created by a number of factors (£50m plan to cut school run traffic, September 17).
		Second, many parents drive their children to school because it is part of their own journey to work and they are short of time.
		So the school run can't be reduced just by individual school schemes enabling children to walk or bus to school, valuable though they are.
