Bus route information will also be available on Friday, August 22, 2025 in the My Ride K-12 App. For more information or contact information, visit the Transportation Department's webpage.
My Ride K-12 App
The Transportation Department encourage everyone to use the My Ride K-12 App. With the My Ride App, parents and students can access their bus stop location, route, and pick up time. The app uses vehicle GPS geolocation to show bus arrivals each day. The My Ride K-12 App is available on a computer or on a smart phone. Instructions on how to use the program can be found here. You will need your child’s student ID when registering. Your child’s student ID can be found in SchoolTool. If you have any questions about the app, please call the Transportation Department at 315-638-6097. -
All students enrolled at Baldwinsville Central School District are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the 2025-2026 school year. No further action is required of you. Your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit an application.
The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program is what allows all students to obtain a free breakfast and lunch. To continue to have access to these programs we need to meet certain criteria. Part of the criteria is related to our free and reduced breakfast/lunch number.
Please fill out the Household Income Eligibility Form to ensure we have all the data we need to continue the resources. This form is to determine eligibility for additional State and federal program benefits that your child(ren) may qualify for. You can also find this form in the August Hive and an online form will be available soon.

New York State passed legislation that will restrict the use of cellphones and other electronic devices by students beginning in the 2025-2026 school year. On September 3, 2025, all schools in our district will be required to implement a “bell-to-bell” ban, prohibiting students from using cellular phones and other devices with internet capability from their arrival to school until dismissal. Learn more about our policy in our Code of Conduct and on our website.
