Stopfinder

The Onteora Central School District will be using a new parent app, Stopfinder, for the upcoming school year. Stopfinder is the easy-to-use, all-in-one app that allows you to have the most accurate information about your student’s bus schedule at anytime from anywhere. In addition to displaying your student’s transportation information, Stopfinder includes a private messaging feature that will allow you to communicate directly with the Onteora Central School District Transportation Department. You can also create GeoAlerts for your student, which will notify you when the bus has arrived or departed from any location on your student’s route, including their assigned bus stop and school. GeoAlert Alert Zones can be created for individual students allowing you to customize the Alert Zone based on their bus route.

The email address that is currently on file with the district will be used for Stopfinder setup. Stopfinder can be downloaded for free from the App Store or Google Play. Stopfinder will require an invite and registration through the district prior to accessing your student’s transportation schedule. Please watch for a Stopfinder invitation, which was be emailed to your primary email address. Please contact transportation with questions.

With almost 300 square miles in the Onteora Central School District to cover each school day, the District's Transportation department is focused on achieving the highest safety and performance levels. Parents/guardians are encouraged to discuss school bus safety with their children. However, this conversation is not just for September! To help keep our students safe, it is important to talk about school bus safety periodically during the school year as well.
