BusWhere

All of our transportation vehicles are equipped with tracking service called BusWhere. This technology allows you to watch your child(ren)'s buses (and only your children's busses) on a map in real-time, see how long the bus spends at each stop, and receive notifications with real-time ETAs and automatic notifications if a bus is running late.

If your child rides the bus, you will receive an email from Vision (support@buswhere.com) once routes are set at the beginning of each school year with a unique invitation to download the BusWhere app.

Alternative Pick-Up Arrangements (Elementary-Only):

If a student who normally rides the bus home will be getting picked up or will be walking/ biking home instead, communicate directly with your student’s teacher and the office. Transportation plans will not be changed for a student without this communication.
