SMART Tag
SMART Tags are a great tool for parents to monitor when their student boards and exits the bus and track any delays. We use this system to keep track of all of students loading/unloading and bus locations. It's an excellent tool for making sure everyone is on the right bus and using the correct stop.
Here's How It Works:
Every student who rides a school bus will be issued a SMART Tag Bus Badge with an unique number on the imbedded RFID chip. As they load or disembark the school bus, they wave the card past the SMART Tag card reader to log on and off the bus. Please ensure your student has their SMART Tag whenever riding the bus.
At the beginning of the school year, returning students should continue to use the SMART Tag that was issued to them. New riders and Kindergarten students will be issued new SMART Tags. If your student lost or misplaced their assigned SMART Tag, request for a replacement can be made on our online form.
PARENTS/GUARDIANS: To get started with the SMART Tag Parent Portal, please download the SMART Tag Parent App from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Then log into the portal using your student's seven-digit student ID number (you may need to add a zero in front of it).
We take the safe transportation of your student seriously and believe the safety features of this product greatly enhance the safety and security of our students, and the efficiency of our service.
