BusRight is a secure, easy-to-use mobile app that allows families to receive real-time information about their child’s school bus. The app provides GPS-based bus tracking, estimated arrival times, and notifications about delays or route changes. This will help improve communication and give families greater confidence and peace of mind regarding student transportation.

The implementation of BusRight will:

Improve student safety and accountability

Reduce uncertainty around bus arrival and drop-off times

Provide timely updates about delays, substitutions, or changes

Improve communication between the Transportation Department and families

How will families use it?

Bus route information will be provided in two ways:

• Via a direct email from BusRight on January 20

• Within the BusRight Parent App

Please check your junk or spam folder for the BusRight email.

Possibly. BusRight has analyzed district routes and implemented efficiency improvements. As a result, some routes may have changed. Families should review their most up-to-date route information directly in the app.

Student privacy and data security are a top priority.

• Only authorized users can access student transportation information.

• The app uses a “Reduced Visibility” setting, meaning the bus location only appears when it is within a few minutes of a student’s stop.
   

Yes. BusRight will send notifications about delays, substitutions, or route changes directly through the app.

If you are unable to locate the email or have trouble accessing your information, please contact:

Transportation Supervisor
 

While not required, families are strongly encouraged to download the app to receive the most accurate, real-time transportation information and updates.

Parents and guardians can download the BusRight app on their smartphones and receive information directly from the District. Detailed instructions on how to download, set up, and use the app can be found below.

Access to the BusRight Parent App is connected to the primary parent/guardian contact information listed in SchoolTool, the district’s student information system.

At this time, BusRight syncs with the primary contact listed for each student in SchoolTool. This means only the first contact listed is automatically given access to the BusRight Parent App.

Some contacts listed in SchoolTool may be emergency contacts such as grandparents, relatives, or other caregivers. Because the BusRight app provides real-time student location information, the district must ensure that access is granted only to appropriate individuals for student safety and privacy.

Families can review and update contact information through the Arbiter Portal. Or contact the student registrar. 

Access to the BusRight Parent App is based on the order of contacts listed in SchoolTool. If only one parent currently has access, it may be because they are listed as the primary contact.

Bus routes may occasionally run earlier or later than expected due to traffic, weather, road conditions, or student loading times. The BusRight app provides the most current information available, but arrival times should be considered estimates.
