Dear TCPS Families,
The Here Comes The Bus app is now activated! PLEASE NOTE, if you used the app last year, you will need to delete and then re-add your students for the 2022-2023 school year (see instructions below).
Here Comes the Bus® allows you to:
• View the real-time location of your child’s bus
• Access the app from your smartphone, tablet or computer
• Receive push notifications or email alerts
• Send your child to the bus stop at just the right time, every time
How to get started:
1. Download the Here Comes the Bus app* or visit herecomesthebus.com.
2. Click the “Sign Up” button.
3. Enter school code 87314 and click “Next” followed by “Confirm.”
4. Complete the “User Profile” box.
5. Under “My Students,” click “Add.” Enter your child’s last name and student ID number.
