New Fall 2025 - Stopfinder Bus and Student Tracking

Starting in Fall 2025, the Stopfinder Parent Engagement App will provide parents and guardians with real-time updates on their child's bus location, ETA, and the most accurate transportation information. Students will badge in so parents/guardians can also see when students get to school or return home via bus transportation.

Stopfinder is a Free App and is available on the App Store (Apple Devices) and on Google play (Android Devices)
