Parents and guardians of Hardin County Schools middle and high school students have a new tool at their disposal.
HCS on Thursday launched the Stopfinder app, which allows users to accurately track their child’s school bus in real time. The district got the app up and running for preschool parents at the beginning of the school year and has now expanded it to other schools.
“We are grateful to offer this service,” said HCS Community Relations Specialist John Wright. “Parents can see their child’s bus location in real time, so this tool helps our student transportation team become even more efficient and responsive because Stopfinder will answer the question,’ where is my child’s bus?’.”
The app is free and allows users to customize when they receive alerts about their child’s bus location. The app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play, but it requires an invite and registration through the district before users can access the transportation schedule. The district’s transportation department sent emails regarding the app to parents and guardians Thursday morning.
