RollCall Parent
Parent App for RollCall
Free
Know your child is on the right bus, at the right stop, every trip.
RollCall is the parent app for schools and bus operators that run on the RollCall school bus management system. When your child taps on with their smart tag or student card, you get a notification. From there you can watch the bus on the live map, all the way to school and home again.
Follow every journey
• Watch the bus move on the live map, updated in real time
• Know the moment your child scans on and scans off
• See each trip as a timeline, with the time and place of every scan
Bookings made easy
• Set up regular term travel in one sitting, morning and afternoon
• See the week ahead at a glance and adjust single days
• Report an absence in seconds, for one day or a stretch of days
• Find the right stop with the built-in stop finder
Alerts you choose
• Be notified when your child boards, gets off, or gets on or off at the wrong stop
• Route changes come straight to you, and you can acknowledge them in the app
• Read everything back in the Messages tab, and pick which alerts reach you
Payments sorted
• Check your balance, see what you have been charged, and top up in the app where your school uses RollCall Pay
Share access with carers
• Add another parent, a grandparent or a regular helper with their own sign-in, so pick-ups and drop-offs are always covered
Signing in is simple. Enter the email address your school has on file and the app works out the rest, including whether you use a password or your school's single sign-on. After that it stays signed in, so the map is only ever a tap away.
Behind the app, RollCall pairs travel smart-tag technology with GPS tracking so schools, parents and bus operators all see where students are, from tap-on to tap-off. Drivers complete Bus Guardian walk checks so no child is ever left on the bus, and schools get the real-time visibility their duty of care demands. Your child's data is encrypted in transit, and RollCall's information security management system is independently certified to ISO/IEC 27001.
RollCall is for families whose school or bus service uses RollCall. Not at your school yet? Ask them to book a free demo at rollcall.com.au. No obligation. No payment required.
more RollCall 4.1 brings bookings and your school closer together. Seat offers, term requests and their replies now all live in Bookings, so you always know where things stand.
Seat offers from your school
• When your school offers your child a seat, it appears under New Bookings and you get a notification
• Accept it, decline it or ask for a change, all in the app
Term bookings, with your school
• Request a whole term of travel and follow it as your school reviews it
• While a request is still waiting, you can withdraw it or change the stop
• See every child's term bookings together, and tap one for its details
Alerts, your way
• Choose push, email or both for each type of alert
• Tap a notification to go straight to the booking or message it is about
A steadier live map
• Bus locations arrive faster and hold up better on patchy connections
• If live updates pause, the map tells you why, so you are never left guessing
• A run no longer shows as finished just because the driver signed out
Also in this update
• A short tour of what's new in Bookings
• Smoother sign-in at single sign-on schools: no password to set up
• Clearer confirmations throughout the app
Plus many smaller fixes and performance improvements. The parent guides at rollcall.com.au/parents/app-guide walk through every screen.
