Information for Parents & Guardians
Routes, bus stop times & locations, and attendance zones are subject to change at any time.
Eligibility:
- Bus route assignments are based on the student’s current home address, as verified in the Skyward Family Access system.
- Address changes must be made in person at the student's school campus. Proof of residence is required. (Address changes cannot be made by the Transportation Department.)
- Students who reside more than two miles from their assigned campuses, as per designated attendance zones, are eligible for transportation.
- To view attendance zones, please visit: https://apps.myplanware.com/schoolsearch/medinavalley.
- Students who attend a campus under an “approved transfer” are not eligible for transportation services.
Registration:
- Transportation registration is required every school year, for both new and returning students.
- Early registration for the 2024-2025 academic school year closed on July 8, 2024. If you have not yet registered, please do so by clicking the “2024-2025 Transportation Registration” button on this page.
- Registration is not a guarantee of transportation services. Due to the nation-wide bus driver shortage and our district's rapid growth, students may be placed on waiting lists.
- Please allow up to five business days for registration processing. (At the beginning of a new school year, processing may take several weeks.)
- After registering, download the My Ride K-12 app, which is available at Google Play and the App Store.
My Ride K-12:
- Once registered, keep an eye on the My Ride K-12 app for access to bus numbers, stop times & locations, bus delay notifications, route changes, and other important information.
- Using the onboard card reader, students will scan their IDs as they board and exit the bus.
- Timestamped scans will be viewable by the primary My Ride K-12 user.
- Using the app, the primary user may “share” access with additional users.
Ridership:
- While on a bus or at a designated bus stop, students must adhere to the Student Code of Conduct, the Student Transportation Rules & Regulations*, and the Bus Safety Diagram**.
- Nonadherence may result in corrective action, up to and including bus and/or school suspension.
- Seating is assigned by the Transportation Department, and may be changed at any time.
- To accommodate as many riders as possible, some students will be placed three-to-a-seat.
- Seatbelts on equipped buses shall be worn.
- For the safety and security of riders, most MVISD buses are equipped with cameras.
