Montco School District Launches 'Bus Tracking App' For Parents
No more worrying about where your child's bus is, especially during unpredictable winter storms.
NORRISTOWN, PA — The Norristown Area School District is implementing a new technology that will aim to give parents peace of mind for their child's commute to and from school.
The district will use the First Student's FirstView bus tracking app, allowing parents to see the location and progress of their child's bus.
Benefits include reduced phone calls to the school district asking about tardy buses, and knowing just when to be at the bus stop to pick up your child, to avoid wasted time.
