WheresTheBus Application
Longwood School District families can now use the WheresTheBus application to securely track the arrival of their child's bus. This app provides an enhanced and convenient school bus experience that delivers real-time tracking of bus locations via email and push notification alerts to assist our families in best managing their daily school bus experience.
After securely verifying their child's information, parents and guardians can use the mobile app to determine the location of their child's bus along with an estimated arrival time, which is based on real-time and GPS route analytics.
The WheresTheBus app is simple and takes less than five minutes to set up:
- Download the WheresTheBus app from the App Store (iOS / Apple) or Google Play Store (Android).
- You will be prompted to create an account.
- Select Longwood from the dropdown menu and provide your child's information. Once the information is verified, your account will be active.
- Log onto the app from any Internet-enabled device (smartphone, tablet, PC, iPod) to access real-time bus information.
