New real-time bus information through FirstView app

Osseo Area Schools families can check the status of their student’s bus — live — through a transportation app, called FirstView. The app monitors regular school bus routes in real-time. Best of all, it’s free for parents/caregivers and students to use.

While Osseo Schools buses have a tremendous on-time performance record, there are inclement weather and traffic delays that do occur. This app provides families the necessary information to know when their bus will arrive. Families can also see the anticipated length of any delay, an estimated arrival time and if a substitute is driving the route. Email, push and/or text notifications can inform families of such information instantly.

Follow the link to complete the form: 2022-23 Transportation Registration

If the form does not indicate a bus is needed or a form is not received, students will not receive a bus assignment to start the 2022-23 school year.
