As we move toward the end of the school year, we want to remind you about MyRide K12, our new bus tracking software and app! This app allows you to enter your child's information and track their bus in real time while it's on its route. All families that use West Ottawa transportation will need this software for bus information after May 30th, when our current bus software agreement expires. There are detailed instructions in both English and Spanish on the attached flyer.

How to Get Started:

Download the free app from Google Play or the Apple App Store.
Access the website to create an account and track your student's bus: myridek12.tylerapp.com.

As we roll out this new tool, our primary focus for the rest of the 2024-25 school year is getting families signed up and familiar with using MyRide K12. We plan to utilize even more features of the software next school year!
