Carpool to St. Joes!

Disclaimer, Consent and Release

By facilitating the creation and dissemination of a Carpool List, neither St. Joseph High School nor the Diocese of Bridgeport are offering a carpool service, but are instead making available a potential resource for our students and their families. It is therefore left to each participant in any carpool arising from the Carpool List to make an independent assessment of the appropriateness and safety of participating in such a carpool.

Neither St. Joseph High School nor the Diocese of Bridgeport are responsible for ensuring the qualifications, competency, training, licensing, driving record, driving habits or insurance coverage of any drivers or chaperones identified on the Carpool List.

Neither St. Joseph High School nor the Diocese of Bridgeport are responsible for ensuring that vehicles of participants are roadworthy or properly insured.

St. Joseph High School and the Diocese of Bridgeport expressly represent that compliance with the Diocesan Virtus program is not a condition of inclusion on the Carpool List and therefore they are not responsible for ensuring that any drivers or chaperones identified on the Carpool List have undergone Virtus training and have consented to these protocols.

In addition, please read carefully the following consent, disclaimer and release before applying for inclusion on the Carpool List:

The undersigned acknowledges, on their own behalf and on behalf of the minor child that there are risks he or she voluntarily assumes in participating in a carpool, some of which are referred to in this document.

Neither St. Joseph High School nor the Diocese of Bridgeport assumes any liability whatsoever in connection with any carpool arising from the Carpool List. The undersigned, on their own behalf and on behalf of the minor child, releases St. Joseph high School and the Diocese of Bridgeport form all liability for loss or damage to any vehicle and/or its contents, or for injury to or death of any person, which arises in the course of, or in connection with, or as a result of any car pool arising from the Carpool List including, without limitation, vehicle accidents, driving infractions and incidents involving carpool participants.
