We want to remind you about three new apps we’ll be using this year that will help streamline your family’s experience in our district.

Bus Routes (Zum - Student Transportation app)

With last year’s school closures and a new transportation mapping software program, there have been several changes to bussing across the district. THANK YOU, families, for your patience and thoughtfulness as we work to resolve concerns together. We’re hopeful the new transportation app, Zum, will help make your bussing experience a little easier.

• Zum App: This app lets you see your bus route information and to track your child's bus in real-time!
• Where to get it: Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
• How to use it: Watch the preview video or read the FAQs.

 ParentSquare

• ParentSquare: This new tool helps you stay connected with your child’s school. You can receive updates, share files, view school events, and more. Every school in the district will be using ParentSquare this year, so you’ll only need ONE app to stay connected, even if you have kids in several district schools.
• Where to get it: Visit ParentSquare's website or download the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
• How to use it: Watch the “Getting Started” video.

If you need help with these apps, please contact your child's school or send a help request to our IT department.
