𝗗𝗢𝗪𝗡𝗟𝗢𝗔𝗗 𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬📲: The School Board of Highlands County transportation department recently introduced the opportunity for bus riders' parents to know their assigned bus's location using the free app "Where's the Bus."
Dear Parents and Guardians of Highlands County bus riders:
Highlands County school buses are now equipped with GPS technology that may benefit your household, as your student(s) use their Bus Pass/Student ID Card/Student ID number to sign on and off the bus as they board and exit the bus. The WheresTheBusTM parent app lets you know precisely when your child’s bus will arrive at your bus stop. This app is free to all Highlands County bus-riding households. The system also helps Transportation efficiently manage our bus fleet routes.
To use the WheresTheBusTM app, download the WheresTheBusTM app from the App Store (iOS / Apple) or Google Play Store (Android). You will be prompted to create an account. Select Highlands County from the dropdown menu and provide your student’s information. Once your student’s information is verified, you will create an account and will be able to log in and access the app.
Additional information on the WheresTheBusTM parent app is included below. I encourage you to try this exciting new technology, as we continually strive to provide you with the best possible transportation service.
Sincerely,
Willie Hills
Highlands County Director of Transportation
