We are excited to launch our newest way to keep you informed about your student's bus route this upcoming school year.

Stopfinder is the all-in-one, easy to use app for viewing and sharing your student's transportation schedule. The app allows you to view your student's daily transportation assignments, receive notifications and updates related to transportation and send private messages to the Transportation Department. The app also allows you to securely share your student's schedule with caregivers and others.

In order to use the Stopfinder App, you will receive an invitation from the Transportation Department. Invitations are sent out periodically to parents or guardians of students for whose Stopfinder accounts have not yet been activated. Before contacting the Transportation Department, check your email box for an invitation email with the follow details:
