Changes Next School Year
WSD to Utilize Stopfinder App at the Start of the School Year
July 24, 2025
WSD Families,
Get Real-Time Bus Updates with Stopfinder for 2025-26!
Starting with the 2025-2026 school year, the WSD is implementing a new app called Stopfinder for all bus-riding families. The app will be parents’ and guardians’ only source of transportation notifications, providing them with more accurate and timely communication.
If you want to know about bus delays or the estimated arrival time of your child’s bus, you must download and use the Stopfinder app. We will no longer send late bus notifications via text or email.
What Stopfinder Offers:
View your student’s daily transportation assignments, including transfer trips and stops.
- Securely share your student’s schedule with caregivers or other family members.
- Receive notifications and updates related to transportation.
- Receive real-time vehicle location notifications based on GeoAlert regions.
Important Access Information:
Access to student schedules in Stopfinder will be granted only to the student's primary contacts #1 and #2 as listed in Focus. These primary contacts can then share the schedule with others as needed.
What You Need to Do:
Keep an eye on your inbox! You will receive an email invitation to activate your Stopfinder account in August. Once you receive the invitation, you can download the Stopfinder app from the App Store and Google Play.
If you do not receive an email invitation to register for Stopfinder in August or if you have any questions regarding your student’s schedule, please complete the Transportation Assistance Form or contact the transportation department at 636-327-3860.

Sincerely,
Kim Boix
Director of Transportation
