ParentView
When will the bus show up? How can I see when my child will be picked up or dropped off? First Student’s ParentView is the comprehensive and secure school bus tracking, communications and engagement tool for parents.
ParentView provides real-time access to:
- Know where your student’s bus is through GPS tracking
- Easily track all of your students at one time
- Receive messages from your district on delays to schedule changes
- Receive notification alerts when the bus is getting close
DistrictView
Transportation Directors, Principals, Secretaries, and other school personnel need clarity to run a school district. FirstView’s DistrictView dashboard centralizes district-wide route data for efficient decision-making, provides an easy-to-use tool for assisting parents with transportation questions, and increases transparency with transportation operations.
