This edition is in preparation for the 1st week of school.
How is my Jag getting home?
Plano ISD is excited to announce the adoption of My Ride K-12, a new platform that makes it easier than ever for families to access student transportation information for the 2025–26 school year.
Starting this year, families whose students qualify for bus service (living two miles or more from their assigned campus) can view individual bus route details through My Ride K-12. The platform provides access to route numbers, scheduled stop times and stop locations.
Bus route information is available in three convenient ways:
- My Ride K-12 website: https://myridek12.tylerapp.com/
- My Ride K-12 mobile app: Free to download on both iPhone and Android devices
Parent Instructions to add the app to your iPhone or Android
- Skyward Family Access: Under the “Transportation” tab
Plano ISD remains focused on safety, service, and transparency as we implement these changes. We appreciate our community’s partnership and understanding.
For additional support visit pisd.edu/transportation. Please contact Transportation or Let’s Talk with any questions.
Get an early start and share how your Jag will get home for the 25-26 school year. Please note that we ask that dismissal remains the same as consistently as possible to ensure the safety of all our Jags.
