🌨️ Changing Weather? Stay One Step Ahead! 🚌

As the weather begins to change, we want to remind parents that you have a great tool right at your fingertips!

The My Ride K-12 App allows you to track your student's school bus in real time using GPS. This is a great way to help ensure you don't miss the bus, especially when winter weather makes transportation schedules a little less predictable.

During adverse weather conditions, road conditions may cause buses to run behind schedule. On the other hand, when students are absent or not riding, buses may occasionally run a little ahead of schedule.

With the My Ride K-12 App, you can:
• 📍 See your student's bus location in real time.
• 🚌 Monitor your bus as it approaches your stop.
• ⏰ Better prepare for unexpected schedule changes.
• 📱 Stay informed and connected with your student's transportation.

A quick reminder: While the app provides real-time GPS information, it does not guarantee an exact arrival time. Weather, road conditions, traffic, and other unexpected circumstances can affect bus arrival times. We encourage parents to have students ready a few minutes early rather than relying solely on the app.

Our goal is to provide safe, reliable transportation while keeping parents informed along the way.

Don't wait until the weather turns bad to download the app! Take a few minutes now to get it set up so you're ready when you need it.

Thank you for your continued support and for helping us keep our students safe!

🌨️ ¿Está cambiando el clima? ¡Manténgase un paso adelante! 🚌

A medida que comienza a cambiar el clima, queremos recordarles a los padres que tienen una excelente herramienta a su alcance.

La aplicación My Ride K-12 les permite localizar el autobús escolar de sus hijos en tiempo real mediante GPS. Esta es una excelente manera de asegurarse de que no pierdan el autobús, especialmente durante los meses de invierno, cuando los horarios de transporte pueden ser menos predecibles.

Durante condiciones climáticas adversas, las condiciones de las carreteras pueden ocasionar que los autobuses lleguen más tarde de lo habitual. Por otro lado, cuando los estudiantes están ausentes o no utilizan el servicio de transporte, los autobuses podrían llegar un poco antes de lo programado.

Con la aplicación My Ride K-12, usted puede:

  • 📍 Ver la ubicación del autobús escolar de su hijo en tiempo real.

  • 🚌 Monitorear cuándo el autobús se acerca a su parada.

  • ⏰ Prepararse mejor para cambios inesperados en los horarios.

  • 📱 Mantenerse informado y conectado con el departamento de transporte escolar.

Un recordatorio importante: Aunque la aplicación proporciona información de ubicación mediante GPS en tiempo real, no garantiza una hora exacta de llegada. El clima, las condiciones de las carreteras, el tráfico y otras circunstancias inesperadas pueden afectar los horarios de llegada. Recomendamos que los estudiantes estén listos unos minutos antes de la hora habitual y que no dependan únicamente de la aplicación.

Nuestra meta es proporcionar un transporte seguro y confiable, manteniendo a los padres informados en todo momento.

¡No espere hasta que empeore el clima para descargar la aplicación! Tómese unos minutos ahora para configurarla y estar preparado cuando la necesite.

¡Gracias por su continuo apoyo y por ayudarnos a mantener seguros a nuestros estudiantes! Departamento de Transporte Escolar de USD 457
