We have a new transportation app for student busing information! Traversa Ride 360 has been updated and rebranded to My Ride K-12. Your information from the previous app will transfer over, so you can use your same log in.

First time? Create an account and search for our school districts under RB157NSD2. You'll also need your student's ID, found under the Student Info tab of Skyward.

Your student's bus route isn't changing, but make sure to download the new app now to ensure you have access to the most updated transportation information.

• My Ride K-12 – Apple App Store (iOS)
• My Ride K-12 – Google Play Store (Android)

Questions? Call Transportation at 815-678-2232.

Safety for our students and staff is something we take very seriously here at NMS. Please talk to your children about the seriousness of making threatening comments regarding students, staff, or the school. No comments will be handled as a joke here at Nippersink Middle School and law enforcement will be contacted if comments are made or shared on social media. Please contact the office or use our website if you have a safety concern. Safety concerns can be submitted on the website HERE
