Families Empowered!
Parent Portal Lite lets families see the location of their school bus to gauge arrival times. Further, the app sends a push notification to your smartphone when the bus enters a user-defined geographic area. This area can define the neighborhood where the bus top is located, the school location, or other locations providing meaningful information to families.
Families only receive access by using a district-provided registration code.
Contact your child's school for the needed code to connect to your district.

Keep your Contact Info Current |
It is important that the contact information we have for you is current and correct. We often send out messages and information through our automated calling system, email, and text messaging. Having current phone numbers in our system is important, so that we can get information out to you when needed.
