Prosper ISD Here Comes the Bus
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Prosper ISD is happy to announce the adoption of an innovative mobile device app and website entitled, Here Comes the Bus®.
What will you see with Here Comes the Bus and Student Ridership?
º Real-time location of your child’s bus on a map within a 2 mile radiusº Scheduled and actual bus arrival times at home and school
º Confirmation that your child’s bus has arrived at the bus stop, at school or both
º Your child’s scan data including bus number, time and location of scan
º Push notification* and email alert when:
- Bus has entered the radius around the home stop
- Bus has been substituted
- Your child scans on and off the bus, including bus number, time and location
With Student Ridership, your child will use their student ID card or the Here Comes the Bus app on their smartphone to scan as they board or exit the bus. This gives us AND you the comfort of knowing your child got on the right bus, and off at the right stop.
This easy-to-use technology is free to you. Simply download the Here Comes the Bus app, create a secure account, add your students and you’re all set!
Here Comes the Bus and Student Ridership are powered by Synovia Solutions™, makers of the GPS-tracking technology used by Prosper ISD to increase safety and cost savings as it relates to our school bus fleet.
Available in three languages (English, Spanish and French), the Here Comes the Bus app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.
