Parent Information - Safe Stop Bus Tracking App is Available

posted Nov 21, 2017, 12:21 PM by Roz Walton   [ updated Nov 21, 2017, 12:32 PM ]

The school bus GPS tracking software, Safe Stop, is available for parental access and has been active since Monday, November 13th.  A Parent User Guide is available by clicking here.  Access codes were sent home with students and provided to administrators at each school. If you still need an access code, simply contact the principal of the school where your child attends and ask for the code, download the app and start using.

As we venture into the implementation of this new software, please keep in mind that Safe Stop is intended to portray an estimate of where the bus is at that point in time. Parents and viewers should not rely on the bus routing app as an accurate timer to send their student off to the bus stop. 

The Transportation Policy refers to a 10 minute window on either side of the expected time of arrival. The GPS software is merely another tool that gives parents an estimated time that the bus will arrive.  This could be especially helpful if a bus is running late for any reason.

There are still a few school buses without GPS and there will be language that indicates that the GPS is not yet available for that bus.  Additional GPS units will be installed upon receipt.
