How to set up and access the MyRide K-12 App
To access your student's bus schedule, please create a MyRide K-12 account. This application will also allow you to see the estimated time of arrival of your child's bus, set up delay notifications, and contact the Transportation office through the app. You will need your student's I.D. number. If you do not have their I.D. number, please reach out to your student's school. Information on how to set up and access the MyRide K-12 App is below.
