Transportation

Elkhart Community Schools is excited to introduce Stopfinder, a new transportation app for parents and guardians. Stopfinder makes it easy to view your student’s bus schedule — anytime, anywhere — right from your phone or device.

In addition to providing real-time transportation information, Stopfinder allows you to:

• Send private messages directly to the ECS Transportation Department
• Set custom alerts when the bus arrives or departs from key locations, including the bus stop or school
• Create personalized Alert Zones for each student based on their unique bus route

We’re rolling out Stopfinder one school at a time to ensure a smooth and supported experience for families.

Stopfinder requires an invitation and registration before you can access your student’s transportation schedule. The app will not work until you receive the invitation and complete registration.

If your child rides the bus and your email address is correct in PowerSchool, but you haven’t seen an invitation — Call 574-262-5695

The Stopfinder can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

With GeoAlerts, create alert zones anywhere on the map to receive GeoAlert notifications when the bus arrives at or departs from the alert zone.
