Designed with parents, for parents – FirstView™, powered by First Student, makes you a part of your student’s journey. To school. From school. Every day.
FirstView™ is your resource for knowing the location of your student’s bus, estimated arrival times at your student’s stop and when your student’s bus arrives or departs their school. FirstView™ is a partnership between First Student and the school districts we serve, bringing increased transparency and communication about the school bus for students and their families. Currently, FirstView™ is only available to a small number of school districts but we are working hard to offer it to as many districts as possible! Please contact your school district or our FirstView™ support team if you would like to know if FirstView™ is available for you.
