Transportation

The Transportation Department operates a fleet of 19 buses. State law requires districts to provide busing for students who live more than 1.5 miles from school and also provides exceptions for safety busing in high traffic areas. Buses are used to transport students to and from school, field trips for instructional purposes, and extra-curricular activities and events. District school buses travel nearly 300,000 miles annually and transport approximately 1,200 students daily.

Fremont Joint School District 215

Parent(s) and Guardian(s)

Families with Student(s) riding a bus route, please check with their school to make sure your student(s) information is correct. We encourage you to double check this information.  Please contact your student(s) school secretary at their assigned school to enroll your student(s) as a bus rider and to provide any updated information. This way it will ensure that your student gets on the correct bus and that you will be able to use the BusRight tracking app. (see below)

NEW STUDENT(S)

Parent(s) / guardian(s) for new students enrolling as bus riders please email Misty at mistyw@sd215.net to get your student enrolled on the bus route tracking system and on the correct bus. This is for new students or students that may have different bus stop.

During the first two weeks of school we ask that you please provide transportation systems a grace period of +/- 10 minutes as students, families and drivers work to navigate routes, drop-offs, pick-ups and neighborhood traffic.  Please also keep in mind that during the first two weeks of school, drivers maintain bus manifests to document the number of students on each route.  Based on these manifests, transportation works to adjust routes for efficiency which may adjust bus stop times.

BusRight Tracking App for Parents with Student(s) of Bus Routes

Dear Parents and Guardians of Fremont Joint School District 215

We’ve partnered with BusRight - a transportation technology startup - to allow you to keep track of your child’s school bus route to and from school directly from your smartphone.

The BusRight app will allow you to, in real-time, follow your child’s bus route to and from school, receive notifications when the bus begins and ends its route, view the expected arrival time at your child’s designated bus stop, and receive ad-hoc communications from the Transportation Department.

Invitations to our beta-rollout of the app will be sent to your email the first part of the school year, from support@busright.com with the subject “You’re Invited to BusRight”. Your invite will contain a link to create an account with BusRight and will officially go live with bus routes shortly after.

We’re working closely with the BusRight team to perfect the system and, in the meantime, ask for your patience and understanding as we continue to make improvements.

Once launched, if you log in to the system and observe the bus appears to be offline it does not mean the bus route is not in operation - it is most likely the result of one of the following reasons:

● The bus route has completed its run and is back at the bus lot and not turned on.

● The driver is using a spare vehicle that is not equipped with BusRight's GPS tracking system.

● The GPS Tracking system on the vehicle is not online due to technical issues.

● If the route does not show as an option on your route list, you may not be assigned to the stop in the BusRight system - you can contact the Transportation Department at mistyw@sd215.net.

Please note that if you have students on routes that are not yet being launched on BusRight, you may also see the live locations of those vehicles, but they may not be accurate until officially launched.

Questions or issues regarding the use of the BusRight app should be directed to support@busright.com.

As always questions about your child's bus stop or route should be directed to the Transportation Department at mistyw@sd215.net, 208-624-7542
