- For all grade levels, bus route assignments are based on the student’s current home address, as verified in the Skyward Family Access system.

Technology:
- Please download 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. Students' timestamped scans will be viewable by parents via the My Ride K-12 app. To facilitate the scanning process, we ask that elementary students keep their IDs attached to their backpacks; and secondary students keep their IDs on a lanyard.
- For the safety and security of all riders, MVISD buses are equipped with cameras.
