Safety Protocols:
For elementary-aged students, we ask that an authorized adult or older sibling are visible at drop-off. This is to ensure the safety of your child... Thank you!
Stopfinder App
The Vestal CSD Transportation Department has launched a new parent/guardian app, Stopfinder, which lets families track their child’s school bus in real time. This free, secure, and easy-to-use app will replace My Ride 360, with access limited to authorized users only. In addition to tracking, Stopfinder offers two-way communication, allowing parents to quickly connect with district transportation staff and receive instant notifications.
