Safe Stop - a new tool for families
Estacada School District Families,
The Estacada School District is introducing a new program- SafeStop- to our district to provide families with increased communication and notifications regarding bus pick up and drop off times. SafeStop's phone app can also notify families each time a student scans on or off the bus. In the event of a bus breakdown or poor road conditions, our district transportation team can send a notification about the delay through the SafeStop app. There is no charge to use the app. Your student will be coming home with a SafeStop ID badge this week. This is what students will use to scan on and off of the bus.
Steps to begin using the SafeStop app.
1) Register with SafeStop. Have your child's student identification number ready. The student ID can be found in PowerSchool.
2) Download the SafeStop app at the end of the registration process. You can also download the SafeStop app in the official Apple or Android app stores.
3) Download the SafeStop user guide (linked below) to help get you started. Additional resources are located below as well.
Only student guardians will be provided with access to this information. Your student's privacy is important to us. We are excited to offer this tool that can increase convenience and communication when it comes to district transportation.
Student SafeStop Usage
We recommend that students secure their ID badge to a backpack or bag to ensure that they have it with them every time they ride the bus. Students will need to scan on and off of the bus. Bus drivers will assist in guiding them through this process.
