Designed with parents, for parents FirstView, powered by First Student, makes you a part of your students journey. To school. From school. Every day.

FirstView is your resource for knowing the location of your students bus, estimated arrival times at your students stop and when your students bus arrives or departs their school. FirstView is a partnership between First Student and the school districts we serve, bringing increased transparency and communication about the school bus for students and their families. Currently, FirstView is only available to a small number of school districts but we are working hard to offer it to as many districts as possible! Please contact your school district or our FirstView support team if you would like to know if FirstView is available for you.

Buses for all your students can be tracked with FirstView. Using individual colors for each student, every selected stop appears on the map simultaneously for easy viewing and differentiation.
