Pender County Schools uses an app called Here Comes the Bus to let you view your child's school bus location in real time from a smartphone, tablet, or computer. With it, you'll have the information you need to send your child to the bus stop at just the right time — helping protect them from inclement weather and other roadside dangers. You'll also have peace of mind knowing your child hasn't missed the bus.
Directions for setting up the app are included below.
