If your child plans to take the bus to school, please download our free transportation app, My Ride K-12. It allows parents/guardians and students to access their secure data for bus stop location, route and pickup times.

Your child’s bus route will be available the first week of September. Please double check the day before school as the bus route may change slightly.
