WCPSS bus rider families are now able to use a free bus tracking system called Here Comes the Bus. 

Here Comes the Bus translates GPS data into an easy to use customizable map that works on a computer, tablet or smartphone. It allows you to see where the bus is and how close it is to your stop.

You can sign up for Here Comes the Bus at https://herecomesthebus.com/getting-started/. You will need the district code and your student’s ID number to sign up. The WCPSS school code is 67500. For your smartphone or tablet, download the Here Comes the Bus app from the App Store or Google Play.

When entering your student’s last name on the app, spell it as it appears on your Home Base/PowerSchool account.  If there is a hyphen in the name, make sure you include it. Only enter the first eighteen (18) characters of your student’s last name.  If your name is, Yellow-School Bus Wake, you will enter Yellow-School Bus in the last name field.

Once activated, you can customize or edit features, including how the app will communicate with you and the size of the notification radius.

The Here Comes the Bus app does not track buses providing service between schools, afterschool activities or athletic events.
