2023-24 School Year Back-to-School Transportation Tips

• How do I view my child’s bus assignment?
  • Bus schedules may be viewed in the SchoolMax Family Portal and with PGCPS InfoFinder. Postcards with bus assignments were also mailed to families with students who are registered for school. 
• What do I do if my child has not yet been assigned a bus?
  • Students must have been registered for school by August 9 to have been assigned school bus transportation for the start of the 2023-24 school year. 
  • Families who registered late or have not yet received a bus assignment can use InfoFinder by entering their home address to view bus routes and stops nearest to their home.  
• How does the school bus app work?
  • Parents can use our StopFinder app to track the location of their child’s bus in real time. Parents/guardians must have an email address on file in the SchoolMax Family Portal to be invited to download the StopFinder app from Google Play or the Apple App Store. StopFinder app invites for the 2023 - 2024 school year will be sent out weekly, beginning the week of Monday, August 14. StopFinder Help/FAQs
