"Where's the Bus App"

Dear Parents/Guardians: Lexington City Schools school buses are now equipped with GPS technology that may benefit your household. The “Where’s The Bus” parent app lets you know precisely when your child’s bus will arrive at their stop. This app is free to all Lexington City Schools' households with students riding our buses. The system also enables the Transportation department to efficiently manage our bus fleet. To use the “Where’s The Bus” app, download from the App Store (IOS/Apple), or Google Play Store (Android). You will be prompted to create an account. Select "Lexington City Schools" from the dropdown menu and provide your student’s information. If you do not know your child’s student ID, please contact their school for verification. Once your personal information has been verified by the school, and your child’s information is verified, you will be able to create an account and log in and access the app. Additional information on the “Where’s The Bus” 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, Lexington City Schools Transportation (336)242-1527 Note: To register, you must have the student ID number of each child. Student ID numbers WILL NOT be given over the phone, please take a photo ID to the school for the information.
