Introducing the revolutionary FirstView 1.0, now available for download in the App Store! Designed specifically for parents, this innovative app, powered by First Student, enhances your involvement in your child's daily school journey.
With FirstView®, you gain access to essential information about your child's school bus. Track the live location of the bus, receive estimated arrival times at your child's stop, and stay updated on when the bus arrives or departs from school. This app fosters a partnership between First Student and the school districts we serve, ensuring improved transparency and communication regarding school transportation for families.
Currently, FirstView® is available in select school districts, but we are actively working to expand its reach. If you're interested in finding out whether FirstView® is available in your district, please reach out to your school district or contact our dedicated support team.
The FirstView® map screen provides a live view of your child's bus, showing its current location and direction. You can also access your child's stop schedule for the day, complete with timestamps for school arrivals and departures. This feature ensures you are always informed about your child's transportation status.
Using advanced analytics and real-time GPS data, FirstView® calculates estimated arrival times at your stop. This predictive feature allows you to plan your day more effectively, reducing wait times and enhancing your overall experience.
Stay ahead of the game with customizable push or email notifications. Set alerts to notify you when your child's bus is approaching your stop, whether it's a specific distance away or a set number of minutes. Additionally, receive timely updates regarding any delays, including reasons for lateness and estimated wait times.
If you have more than one child using the bus service, FirstView® has you covered. Track buses for all your students simultaneously, with each stop color-coded for easy identification. This feature simplifies the process of monitoring multiple routes, making it easier for busy parents.
The primary user of the FirstView® app can connect up to three additional email accounts. This allows other family members to receive important email alerts, ensuring everyone stays informed about your child's transportation.
Security is a top priority for FirstView®. The app requires a password-protected account along with your child's ID for setup, ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive information. You can easily register and log in from your smartphone, tablet, or desktop, providing flexibility and convenience.
In today's fast-paced world, staying connected with your child's school transportation is crucial. FirstView 1.0 offers a comprehensive solution that empowers parents with real-time information, predictive analytics, and customizable alerts.
