Here Comes the Bus
Here Comes the Bus is an easy-to-use website and mobile device app that enables parents and caregivers to view the real-time location of their child’s school bus on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. In addition, email alerts and push notifications help parents send their students to the bus stop at just the right time.
This application can be viewed on any smartphone (Apple iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, BlackBerry, and so on) by entering the student’s ID and an account number provided by the school district. Tarkington ISD School Code is 30241.
What you need to know:
Students must present their ID to board both in the morning and at the end of the school day. If a student does not have their ID after three reminders during a progress report period, they may face a bus suspension of up to three days. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact your student's campus or you can access further information on the TISD website under the “Families” tab.
At this time, only selected routes will begin piloting the Here Comes the Bus (HCTB) program. (Letters to parents were sent home with students on those routes.) This phased rollout will allow us to identify and address any unforeseen issues that may arise. Please note that during this pilot phase, you may begin receiving notifications through the app regarding your student.
