Find the families at your school.

Rydes connects school families. See who's nearby on a map, message other parents and bring your whole household along.

Features

Your school community, in your pocket

A map of families from your school. Find the ones who live close to you, whether for carpools, playdates or a friendly face at pickup.

Reach out to other families right in the app. Make plans without having to swap phone numbers first.

A family can have more than one parent and all of your kids. Everyone shares the same family, so no one misses a message.
