Description
Designed with parents, for parents – FirstView®, powered by First Student, makes you a part of your student’s journey. To school. From school. Every day.
FirstView® is your resource for knowing the location of your student’s bus, estimated arrival times at your student’s stop and when your student’s bus arrives or departs their school. FirstView® is a partnership between First Student and the school districts we serve, bringing increased transparency and communication about the school bus for students and their families. Currently, FirstView® is only available to a small number of school districts but we are working hard to offer it to as many districts as possible! Please contact your school district or our FirstView® support team if you would like to know if FirstView® is available for you.

Live Tracking

Predictive Stop Arrival Times

Custom Alerts and Messages
• Set up push or email notifications alerting you when your student's bus is a chosen distance or number of minutes away from your stop.
• Receive push messages about why your student’s bus is late and an estimation of how long it will be delayed.
Multi-Stop View
• Buses for all your students can be tracked with FirstView®. Using individual colors for each student, every selected stop appears on the map simultaneously for easy viewing and differentiation.
Additional User Notifications

Secure and Easy Access
• FirstView® requires a password-protected account along with your student’s ID for app set-up. This way, only you can view your student’s stop.

Ratings and Reviews
Love this app and would like to make a suggestion
I love this app, and even though it has its ups and downs, it greatly serves its purpose and I am very appreciative! I would like to make a suggestion though. I would like a way to communicate with bus drivers to let them know, if my child wont be riding that day. I have children in where they are the only ones at a stop. If for example my child wakes up sick, I can’t really let the bus know ahead of time not to come. I would like a button on the Firstview app that says something like “Child wont be riding today”, that gets sent to the bus driver. Last year there was a shortage of bus drivers in my area, and with something like this button, I feel it would have lighten the load on bus drivers.
Wonderful until..
I just filled out a survey and give it 5 stars all the way! I love this app. I overlooked the couple days last week where it would say update failed and I would have to open and close app a few times. This morning it was up and running then failed to update and I was logged out. This afternoon it showed their buses but ultimately again failed to update, I guess so as it showed my daughters bus 10minutes out, then she walked in door. Seems there may be a bug in this latest update. But if it works one day a week I still consider it a blessing.
Don’t move or the app won’t work
This app used to work great, until we moved. It’s been 3 weeks and they still can’t figure out why my sons student ID is not working.
**update: it took about a month, but the app is working at my new address. I do have to say, although it took a long time, the support team (Steven I believe) was nothing but nice the whole time. The estimated time is way off sometimes, but I can still see where the bus is. Other than that it has been working great.
Developer Response ,
