Kanawha County Schools is offering new tools for parents this school year. One new resource is a smartphone app for parents to track school bus rides while on the go. The Zonar My View app tells students and parents when a bus is at the bus stop or other places during the route. If you don’t know your child’s bus number, you can find it using this database. A test run went well in the South Charleston and now it’s active everywhere. Another tool for Kanawha County parents this year is an online platform to help with mental health and wellness needs. Kanawha County Schools and the West Virginia Department of Education have partnered with ParentalGuidance.org to provide resources. Kanawha County’s first day of school is Friday, August 16th.
