Near Parents

Near Parents lets you follow your children's school bus in real time and stay informed on every trip. To use the app, your child's school must use Near School by NEAR GPS. The school gives you a code or QR to link each child. The app is free for guardians. What you can do • See on a live map where the bus is when it is heading to your stop, with the estimated time of arrival. • Get notices when the bus has left campus, when it is a few minutes away, when it has arrived at the delivery zone and when your child has been delivered. • Stay up to date on delays and school notices. • Check today's trips for each child, morning and afternoon, with their status: scheduled, on board, delivered or absent. • Confirm delivery with the "Recibí a ..." (I received ...) button, which is enabled when the bus reaches the delivery zone. • Review the delivery history. Several children and several schools One account works for all your children, even if they attend different schools. Each child is linked with their own code. Link your child with the school's code Scan the QR or type the 8-character code the school gave you. You will only see the student linked to that code. Invite another guardian You can invite another guardian of your child so they also receive the notices. If you see a link you do not recognize, you can report it and the school will be notified. Your privacy The app does not request your phone's location: the bus position comes from the GPS device installed on the vehicle. To protect the privacy of other students, live tracking is enabled only a few minutes before the bus reaches your stop. The camera is used only to scan the school's code. You can delete your account from the app menu. Near Parents is a service of NEAR GPS, which serves the school's transportation.

First release of Near Parents: follow your children's bus live, get notices for departure, proximity and delivery, and confirm you received them.
