ADM Families,

Bus routes and pick-up / drop-off times have been completed for the start of the 2024-25 school year. Please access your bus route and time information via MyRide K-12 using one of the options listed below.

  • Access MyRide K-12:
  • Create MyRide K-12 Account: If you have not accessed your student’s bus route information in MyRide K-12 in previous school years, please use the following directions to set up your account.
    • Step 1: Please use these directions to look up your student’s ID number. You will need this information to complete step 2.
    • Step 2: Please use these directions to create an account and link to your student.

K-6 Printed Bus Passes: 

  • What: Students in grades K-6 will be provided a printed bus pass.
  • Why: Students in grades K-6 must have a bus pass in order to ride the bus.
  • When: Bus passes will be distributed at open house events. 
    • Please Note: If a family is unable to attend an open house event prior to school, they should pick up their bus pass from their school building office.

7-12 Digital Bus Passes:

  • What: Students in grades 7-12 are asked to carry a digital bus pass.
  • Why: Students in grades 7-12 must have a bus pass in order to ride the bus.
  • How: Students can load and display the bus pass on their mobile device. (See directions below)
  • When: Families should ensure that students have digital bus passes prior to the first day of school.
  • Directions: Students in grades 7-12 should create an account in MyRide K-12 following the same steps listed above in the section “Create MyRide K-12 Account.” This will allow students to access and display their bus route information to the bus driver when entering the bus.
    • Please Note: Each family can only create 4 accounts linked to the same student ID. If your family needs more than 4 linked accounts to one student ID, please contact kendra.wolf@admschools.org for assistance.
    • Other Notes About Digital Bus Passes:
      • If your 7-12 grade student does not have a mobile device or you would prefer that they not create an account with MyRide K-12, please contact the ADM Transportation Department at transportation@admschools.org to request a printed bus pass. 
      • Printed bus passes will not be available for the first day of school and will be issued to students a few weeks into the school year. 
      • Until the student receives their requested printed bus pass, the student will simply tell their name to the bus driver who will verify that the student is accessing the correct bus and route.

Bus Route Change Requests: In previous school years, ADM allowed families to make changes to their bus routing needs up until the first day of school. This often led to last minute route changes that impacted hundreds of students. This year:

  • Bus routes will be set based on the information provided during registration. 
  • Families who need to make change requests related to busing can submit a change request using the ADM Transportation Change Request Form until August 14, 2024.
  • Registration or bus route change requests submitted after August 14, 2024 may not be honored during the first two weeks of school until the week of September 9 – especially if making these changes will impact significant numbers of students.

 Questions: Please contact the ADM Transportation Department at 515-993-5321 or transportation@admschools.org.

Sincerely,

ADM Transportation Director

Todd Liston
