When a specific bus is cancelled or delayed, BusPlanner will only message the students assigned to that bus route.
This change is a step forward to reduce the number of text notifications that do not apply to your family.
BusPlanner Alerts offers parents and guardians text and/or email messages for delayed or canceled buses specific to their child’s bus routes.
