What SchoolPro Bus is

SchoolPro Bus is a free site for school bus and transportation companies. You build morning and afternoon routes, drivers mark each child on and off from a phone, and parents are told right away.

Link a school

Your riders come from the school's DismissPro roster, so the school has to agree first.

1. Ask the school to open DismissPro, go to Settings, then Bus Company, and turn on the link.
2. They give you a School ID and a link code.
3. On your Company page, enter them under Schools and tap Link a school.
4. Your bus riders appear, grouped by bus.

Add your drivers

1. On your Company page, go to Drivers.
2. Enter the driver’s name and email and tap Add driver.
3. They get an email to set a password.

Build runs, stops and students

1. Under Runs, create a morning and an afternoon run for each bus.
2. Open a run and choose its driver.
3. Add the stops in order, with a planned time for each.
4. Under each stop, tap Add students and tick the children who get on or off there.

Family letters

Each family needs its own code to follow a child in SchoolPro Rides.

1. Open your school from the Company page.
2. Tap Print family letters.
3. Send them home with the students, or give them to the school to send.

On and off records

On and off records lists every mark with the time and where the bus was. Records are kept for 12 months.

Changes from the school

When a driver starts a run, the latest roster comes from DismissPro.

• Sub bus today: if the school moves a bus to a replacement in DismissPro, the run shows the replacement bus for that day.
• A different ride today: a student with a one-day change is tagged on the driver’s list.
• Update roster: open your school and tap it any time to pull the latest list.

Start your run

1. Open the app and go to My runs.
2. Tap Start run and allow your location.
3. Your students are listed by stop.

Mark students on and off

1. Stop the bus. Marking is blocked while the bus is moving.
2. Tap On or Off beside the student.
3. The time and the bus’s location are saved with the mark.

Undo a mistake

Tapped the wrong student? Tap Undo beside their name within 10 minutes. The mark is removed, and if a parent was already told, they get a correction.

When there is no signal

Keep tapping. Each mark is saved on your phone and shown right away, then sent with its real time as soon as the signal comes back. Don’t end the run until the waiting marks have gone through.

Driving a different bus today

Tap Different bus today at the top of your run and type the bus number. It only lasts for that run, and parents see the bus you’re really on. Leave it empty to go back to your usual bus.

End your run

1. When the bus is empty, scroll down and tap End run.
2. If anyone is still marked on, you see their names. Check the bus.
3. If you end the run anyway, your office gets an email with those names.

What parents see

Parents use SchoolPro Rides. They see only their own child: when the child got on or off, the time, the stop and an estimated arrival. There is no map and no other children.
