StopFinder is available. When you register for transportation, a link will be sent to your email to register for the StopFinder application. This application will allow you to track your student(s) bus and will also allow the transportation department to send you a notification if the bus is running late.

While school buses are one of the safest ways to send your kids to school, there are many good reasons that make them a growing choice among parents for their children’s school commute.
