IDEA Public Schools now utilizes a new parent app called Stopfinder. Stopfinder is the easy to use, all-in-one app that allows you to have the most accurate information about your student’s bus schedule at anytime from anywhere. In addition to displaying your student’s transportation information, Stopfinder features a private messaging feature that will allow you to communicate directly with IDEA’s Transportation Department. You can also create GeoAlerts for your student, which will notify you when the bus has arrived in/departed from any location on your student’s route, including their assigned bus stop and school.
Here’s how to get connected:
1. Activate your subscription. An invitation email will be sent to the email address we have on file. (Please be sure to check your spam folder, or click here to make sure we have an email on file.) If you have still not received an email, please reach out to your campus transportation manager. Transportation manager contact information by campus can be found below.
2. Enter a password to complete the activation of your subscription. Please create your own password and be sure to keep it in a safe place!
3. Install the Stopfinder application on your phone from the Google Play or Apple App Store.
