The school bus tracking app parents actually open

Live bus location, arrival ETAs, and a push alert the moment something changes — on iOS and Android.

See it with your own data

“Where’s my kid’s bus?” is the most common call a transportation office gets, because parents have no visibility into real-time location. FamilyView gives every family that visibility directly: the live bus position, when it will reach their stop, and a notification when plans change — so the phone in the office stops ringing.

Live location and ETA

Parents see exactly where their child’s bus is and when it will arrive at their stop — from their phone, in real time.

Push alerts that matter

Notifications when the bus is approaching, has arrived, or is running late — and when snow routing changes the pickup. No refresh-and-hope.

Every child, one app

Multi-child support covers siblings on different routes and schools from a single account, with route history for each.

Private by design

Parents only see their own children’s buses. District data is isolated with row-level security, and student records are handled as educational records under FERPA (34 CFR § 99).

Frequently asked questions

Can parents see exactly where the school bus is?

Yes. FamilyView shows the live bus location and the estimated arrival time at your stop, updated in real time on iOS and Android.

Do parents get an alert if the bus is late?

Yes. Push notifications fire when the bus is approaching, has arrived, or is running late — and when a snow route changes the pickup location.

Can I track more than one child?

Yes. One account covers all of your children, even when they ride different routes or attend different schools.

Can other parents see my child’s information?

No. Each parent only sees their own children’s buses. District data is isolated with row-level security, and student data is handled under FERPA.
