My Ride instructions in Spanish

No Tracking Yet

The new My Ride bus routing software has a Bus Location feature, but enabling it would require additional equipment on each bus. The district is assessing the suitability and effectiveness of the new software during this academic year to determine if additional taxpayer funds should be invested in tracking individual buses and student onboarding and offboarding. We appreciate your patience as we transition to the new system and explore its features.

Separate Runs for Secondary and then Elementary Schools

Due to the grade configuration and a lack of time between bells, we run a two-tier system. We pick up ALL secondary students on the first tier, dropping BHS off first, then going to the middle schools before starting our elementary routes as the second tier.

Snow Routes

Linked below are the route changes if the district announces, via Apptegy Thrillshare Alerts, and local media, that snow routes are in effect. If a route is not listed, it will run on its normal schedule.
