New Bus App: EZArrival

The Waynesville R-VI School District will be using a new bus tracking app called EZArrival in the 2026-2027 school year.

EZArrival replaces BusQuest and gives you the same real-time bus tracking, delay notifications and transportation updates.

Best of all, your existing account and settings will work automatically in EZArrival; no new registration or additional setup required!
_________________________________
Please follow these 3 easy steps:

1. Go to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and search for “EZArrival” or see the QR codes below.

2. Download the app (It’s free.)

3. Log in with your current BusQuest username and password. That’s it. Your existing login works in EZ Arrival — no new account, no re-registration, no extra steps. If your login is saved on your phone (in iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, or another password manager), you can use that saved username and password to log in to EZ Arrival. If you’ve forgotten your password, simply tap “Reset Password” on the EZ Arrival login screen and follow the steps. It works the same way as the password reset in BusQuest.

16 WMS & WHS students attend leadership workshop

Earlier this summer, 16 student leaders from Waynesville Middle and Waynesville High represented their schools at the Missouri Association of Student Councils (MASC) Summer Leadership Workshop. During a week on the campus of William Woods University, they joined more than 600 students from across Missouri to learn, collaborate and grow as leaders.

"We are proud of the way these student leaders represented the Waynesville R-VI School District and look forward to seeing how they put what they learned into action in the months ahead," said WMS STUCO Advisor Kayla Atchison. "They returned inspired to strengthen school spirit, serve their classmates and make a positive impact throughout the coming school year."

Through leadership sessions, team building activities and networking opportunities, students gained fresh ideas and valuable skills to bring back to their schools this fall. Students planned and performed a service project for the children of Fulton, had the opportunity to raise money for MASC’s Charity of Choice, Special Olympics Missouri and attended student and advisor-led roundtables and resource sessions.
