- If you haven’t already, download the FirstView app from the App Store or Google Play. This app allows you to securely track your child’s bus, receive bus-specific communication, and customize push alerts regarding your child’s bus. It’s free, and you can find more information at www.usd259.org/firstview. In order to successfully connect to the FirstView app, you will need two pieces of information: (1) your child’s student ID; and (2) a security code to assure safe parent access to the system. The code must be obtained from your child’s school office, so please plan to reach out to the school during the normal business day.
- Remind your student of bus routines and safety practices. If your child is elementary aged, please take a few minutes to watch this short video that reminds them about the S.A.F.E.T.Y. Zone around their school.
Share your transportation compliments, suggestions,
questions and concerns online with First Feedback.

Wichita Transit Partnership

Our Partnership with Wichita Transit provides alternative transportation for students
All students are eligible to receive transportation through Wichita Transit with reduced-price bus passes. The prices are $20 a month, $40 a semester or $70 a year. Bus passes are available through your school's office or at www.wichitatransit.org.
Severe Weather Emergency
-
If buses are in transit when a tornado warning is issued, bus drivers will be directed to follow their severe weather plan and when appropriate to proceed to the nearest USD 259 secondary school in the morning and elementary school in the afternoon to seek shelter. Bus drivers will remain with students at that location until released to resume the bus run.
