How to access My Ride K-12 Parent app

Mohonasen has a new feature that allows parents to track the location of their child(ren)’s bus in real time so you will know when to expect the bus in the morning and in the afternoon. If you would like access to this feature, an app called “My Ride K-12 Parent App”, is now available.  

You will find instructions on signing up for this feature from a computer or your cell phone below.
