The school run, together.
OnArriveBien puts parents from the same school in touch when they make the same journey at the same time. Offer a seat in your car or look for one: the app shows you the families setting off near you, and you arrange the rest between yourselves.
No login yet? Your school will give you one.
OnArriveBien at a glance.
A week of school runs, families taking turns, fewer cars outside the gates. Video in French, no sound.
Every morning, the same scene.
Outside school, cars all arrive at the same time, often with a single child on board, sometimes from the same street.
Parents who know each other already make arrangements by phone or in a group chat. The others simply don’t know that a family two streets away makes the same journey.
OnArriveBien starts from there. Within a school, the app makes visible the journeys families already make, without ever showing anyone’s address. Journeys are free and the app handles no payments: families arrange things between themselves.
Your school gives you access
Your account is created by the school, so only its families can join. The first time you sign in, you replace the temporary credentials with your own.
You introduce your family
Add your children and their year group, then your address. It is only used to work out distances: no other family can see it.
You offer or look for a journey
To school, back home, once or every week, or for a school outing. Journeys are ranked by distance first, then by time, then by year group.
You make arrangements
Messaging tied to the journey lets you agree on the details. Once a seat is accepted, the journey appears in both families’ calendars, and everyone is told if a date is cancelled.
Your address stays at home.
When you publish a journey, other families don’t see where you set off from. The map shows an area, a 500-metre circle by default whose centre is deliberately shifted, and how far it is from their home.
Enough to know whether a journey suits you; not enough to find a house.
Who sees what
| Other families | Your school | |
|---|---|---|
| Your address | No. Only an approximate area around where your journeys start. | No. |
| Your journeys and requests | Yes: the starting area, times and free seats. | Yes, as areas on a map, without names. |
| Your name | Yes, on the journeys and requests you publish. | Yes, with your children’s first names and year groups, since it creates the accounts. |
| Your messages | Only the family you’re talking to. | No. |
From a conversation, you can block a parent or report a message. OnArriveBien moderation only opens a conversation to handle a report or a safety issue, and every access is logged.
The school opens the door; families do the rest.
OnArriveBien is set up one school at a time. The school decides who joins; after that, families organise themselves without it having to step in. Conversations between parents are not visible to the school.
- Accounts
