By using the Zonar MyView app, parents and students will know where the school bus is along the route.

See the Parent User Guide for download instructions and helpful information.

The St. Francis Area Schools code is ISD9409.

Parents/guardians will need their student’s ID number. Contact your student’s school or find it in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.

Bus Stop Reminder:  Please be at the bus stop 10 minutes before the assigned time and as close as safely possible to the edge of the road so drivers can see you. When it's dark out please indicate you are at the stop by having a flashlight or phone flashlight on for better visibility.

Students are assigned to bus stops and specific bus routes. Students must ride only the bus they are assigned to. Students shall board and exit the bus only at their assigned bus stop.

When both parents reside in the same school boundaries, the students may ride from both residences as needed, call the Transportation Office.

Please call the Transportation Office if there is a change in address, phone number, head of household, name or change in ridership since initial registration. This will help keep records up-to-date and allow proper bus assignment.
