Next stop is your pickup alert
"Next stop is your pickup location. Please get ready."
In short
Next stop is your pickup is an alert The School Bus Tracker sends to families when the bus's next stop is the child's pickup stop. It says: "Next stop is your pickup location. Please get ready." Families can turn it on or off for each child.
When it is sent
When the bus's next stop is the child's pickup stop.
Why it matters
It is the moment to put shoes on and walk out of the door: the bus is one stop away, not twenty minutes.
Good to know
Families who live a little way from their stop often pair it with a distance alert, so they set off earlier.
How it reaches the family
On the parent app, in the browser for families who use the website, or by email for a family the system cannot reach on a device. Each alert can be turned on or off on the child's Alerts and absences screen, under What we send you.
