FirstView

In collaboration with our district's transportation partner, First Student, and the Scituate School Department will be launching FirstView®, a real-time GPS vehicle tracking and student transportation monitoring platform. FirstView allows parents and guardians to have real-time bus locations, estimated arrival times, and customizable alerts.

The launch is set to roll out to all of the schools within the Scituate School Department, starting first with Hope Elementary on September 29, then expanding to Clayville and North Scituate Elementary on Tuesday, October 14. Scituate Middle and High School will start using FirstView on Monday, October 27.
