MOUNT MARKHAM CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT JENNY'S NOMINATOR WROTE: "I was given the chance to perform a song with the third and fourth-grade chorus in sign language, and Jenny offered to help me translate it. She gave up her own time to meet with me after school and taught me a beautiful interpretation of the song. She made sure that the true meaning came through! I am so thankful for her kindness and the performance could not have been a success Without her! Thank you!!"; images: Jenny, Mustang, white and yellow text on red background

Introducing BusRight! Mount Markham CSD has partnered with BusRight - a transportation technology company - to allow you to keep track of your child’s school bus route to and from school directly from your smartphone!

Introducing BusRight! As you may have heard or seen in prior communication, we've partnered with BusRight - a transportation technology company - to allow you to keep track of your child's school bus route to and from school directly from your smartphone! What is BusRight? The BusRight app will allow you to, in real-time, follow your child's bus route to and from school, receive notifications when the bus begins and ends its route, where the bus is, and view the expected arrival time at your child's designated bus stop. How Can I Sign Up? Invitations to our rollout of the app will be sent to your email on November 28, 2023, from support@busright.com with the subject "You're Invited to BusRight." Your invite will contain a link to create an account with BusRight and will officially go live with bus routes on the morning of the 28th. Who Can I Contact For Support? Questions or issues regarding the use of the BusRight app specifically should be directed to support@busright.com. As always, questions about your child's bus stop or route should be directed to the Transportation Department at 315-822-2930. What Else Should I Know? We're working closely with the BusRight team to perfect the system and, in the meantime, ask for your patience and understanding as we continue to make improvements. Once launched, if you log in to the system and observe that the bus appears to be offline, it does not mean the bus route is not in operation - it is most likely the result of one of the following reasons: • The bus route has completed its run and is back at the bus lot and not turned on. • The Information regarding your location is incorrect. • The GPS tracking system on the vehicle is not online due to technical issues. (We have some challenging terrain) • If the route does not show as an option on your route list, you may not be assigned to the stop in the BusRight system. Contact Us 315-822-2800 www.mmcsd.org; images: bus, BusRight logo, Mount Markham Logo, blue and black text on white and grey background and vice versa
