In continued partnership with our transportation provider, First Student, Papillion La Vista Community Schools launched FirstView, a bus tracking and parent communication app for your smartphone or desktop. Key features of the platform include:
- Live Tracking
The FirstView map screen shows you the location and direction of your student's bus, for both morning and afternoon trips. Please note that there may be a brief delay in location updates as the system refreshes. FirstView also provides caregivers with confirmation when the trip is complete.
- Customizable Bus Proximity Notifications
With FirstView, you set up a geofence around your location and are alerted when the bus enters the geofence. The geofence size and alert times are customizable, so parents are in control of their notifications. Students should still be at their assigned bus stop 5 minutes prior to the scheduled arrival time.
- Custom Alerts and Messages
Set up push or email notifications alerting you when your student's bus enters the geofence. Connect up to three additional email accounts (including your own) to receive email alerts. This is a great feature for grandparents or caregivers!
- Multi-Stop View
Buses for all your students can be tracked with FirstView. Using individual colors for each student, the bus assigned to each student’s route appears on the map in the same color as the student for easy viewing.
- Secure and Easy Access
FirstView requires a password-protected account for app set-up. This way, only you can view your student’s stop! These codes are provided by your district/school.
