New Transportation App, “My Ride K-12”

We are now using a new transportation app, My Ride K-12, powered by Tyler Drive Technologies. This app replaces Ride 360 and provides accurate monitoring of bus pick-up and drop-off times in the morning and afternoon.

If you currently use Rider 360, simply click on the app on your smartphone and you will be prompted to download My Ride K-12. Use your existing log-in information to sign in.

For those who don’t have the app, it’s available for free download in the app store. Search “My Ride K-12” and you’ll find it, with a description indicating it was formerly known as Rider 360.

Students will receive new Bus ID cards on their first day of in-person learning and they will scan them every time they get on or off the bus.

If you have any questions, please contact the Transportation Department at 518-758-7575 ext. 3551.

Special Notes from the Transportation Department
  • Please have your child waiting at the bus stop five (5) minutes prior to the scheduled bus pick-up time.
  • For the first several days of the school year, you may experience delays.  Certain bus routes may need to be adjusted during the first several weeks of the school year, and your patience is most appreciated.  Please allow time for schedules to become more consistent.
  • The Transportation Department establishes a regular morning and afternoon bus stops for eligible areas.  Students should be picked up and dropped off at these stops. An increase in the number of stops increases the chance of a hazardous situation and decreases the efficiency of the bus route.
School Bus/Bus Stop Rules
  • Please do not wait on porches or in garages where the driver cannot see the student. If waiting in a car, please get out and be ready to board as soon as you see the bus approaching.
  • Skateboards and any other large objects are not allowed on the bus for obvious safety reasons.  This does not include instruments; however, if your student is bringing an instrument on the bus, they may have to keep it in their lap as seating on the buses cannot be compromised.
  • There is no eating or drinking on the bus.  If a child is choking or has an allergic reaction that they are unaware of, this can cause a life-threatening situation.
  • Absolutely no glass containers of any kind are allowed on the bus.
  • Balloons of any type are not allowed on the bus. Toys are not allowed on the bus.
  • If your child is bringing sports equipment, all equipment including balls must be kept in the sports bag.
  • Students should always observe classroom behavior on the bus and should not stand up until the bus has come to a complete stop. Students should always keep their hands to themselves and please do not use inappropriate language on the bus.
Private School Transportation Requests

Ichabod Crane Central School has the Requests For Transportation to a “Non-Public School” available to residents who are planning to enroll their children in a NON-PUBLIC SCHOOL. However, a child must reside within 15 miles of the non-public school in order to qualify for Ichabod Crane bus transportation from home to school.

Non-Public School Transportation Request forms may be obtained by calling the Transportation Department at 518-758-7575, ext. 3551 or clicking here to download the 2024-25 request form.

Forms are due no later than April 1, 2024. Should a family move into the district after April 1, their request for transportation must be made within 30 days of establishing residency.

A transportation request should be submitted for any child who may possibly attend a non-public school in the fall, even if a definite commitment has not yet been made. The request can always be withdrawn; however, NYS Education Law states a request must be submitted no later than April 1 or transportation may be denied.
