Changes to Delayed/Canceled Bus Notifications

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 16:38:00 GMT

We are excited to share the news that we are changing our Late/Cancelled Bus Alerts to create a more streamlined process for families. Currently, bus alerts use the same notification system that schools use to send school-specific messages. By adding a new module to our BusPlanner system, we will now be able to move from whole school messages to messaging only the students assigned to a bus route. This will reduce the number of text notifications that do not apply to your family.
