Dear Parents and Guardians of Watervliet Public Schools bus riders:
Watervliet school buses are now equipped with GPS technology that may benefit your household. The WheresTheBusTM parent app lets you know precisely when your child’s bus will arrive at your bus stop. This app is free to all Watervliet bus riding households. The system also helps Transportation efficiently manage our bus fleet.
To use the WheresTheBusTM app, download the WheresTheBusTM app from the App Store (iOS / Apple) or Google Play Store (Android). You will be prompted to create an account. Select Watervliet from the dropdown menu and provide your student’s information. Once your student’s information is verified, you will create an account and will be able to log in and access the app.
Additional information on the WheresTheBusTM parent app is included below. I encourage you to try this exciting new technology, as we continually strive to provide you with the best possible transportation service.
Sincerely,
Alan Berget
Watervliet Public Schools
