BusRight App: See your child's bus location in real time!

Ritenour Joins BusRight Parent App for Transportation for 2026-2027 School Year

Ritenour School District families with bus riders will have access to the new BusRight Parent App, a transportation tool designed to enhance safety, communication and visibility for student transportation. Learn more about the app here, or watch the video. Download the BusRight flyer in English and Spanish.

The app allows families to view their child's estimated bus arrival time and receive real-time notifications if the bus is running early, late or has experienced a delay. The BusRight Parent App will be the way families get notifications this year if the bus is running late or if there are any changes in the bus route.

Families with bus-eligible children will receive an invitation from BusRight to sign up for important notifications about their children’s bus routes. Parents and guardians of bus riders will need to download the BusRight app in the App Store (if you use an iPhone) or Google Play (if you use an Android phone). Once the bus-eligible family enters their email address to register, they will receive an authorization code by email.

Please ensure your family has a current email address on file with our district so you can receive important updates and setup instructions.  

For more information, please contact the Transportation Department at (314) 493-6327 or bushelp@ritenourschools.org.
