\nThe FirstView\u00ae map screen shows you the location and direction of your student\u2019s bus, your student\u2019s stop schedule for the current day and timestamps for school arrivals and departures. You\u2019ll know when the bus arrives to or departs from school.<\/p>\n
\n<\/u><\/strong>Analyzing route and real-time GPS data, it determines an estimated time of arrival to your stop provided on the FirstView\u00ae map. The app is designed to provide parents with a better guideline for bus location and ETA. Students should still be at their assigned bus stop 10 minutes prior to the estimated or scheduled arrival time.<\/p>\n
\n<\/u><\/strong>Set up push or email notifications alerting you when your student\u2019s bus is a chosen distance or number of minutes away from your stop.<\/p>\n
\n<\/u><\/strong>Buses for all your students can be tracked with FirstView\u00ae. Using individual colors for each student, every selected stop appears on the map simultaneously for easy viewing.<\/p>\n
\n<\/u><\/strong>Connect up to three additional email accounts (including your own) to receive email alerts. This is a great feature for grandparents or caregivers!<\/p>\n
\n<\/u><\/strong>English, French (Canadian), Spanish, Vietnamese, Oromo, Chinese, Amharic, Tagalog, Somali, Tigrinya are available based on your phone\u2019s language settings.<\/p>\n
\n<\/u><\/strong>FirstView\u00ae requires a password-protected account for app set-up. This way, only you can view your student\u2019s stop! These codes are provided to you by your district.<\/p>\n
\n<\/u><\/strong>We are here to help you. Whether you are having trouble getting started with FirstView\u00ae, not seeing correct data or have an idea to make FirstView\u00ae better, we want to hear from you<\/p>\n
