Dear Nye County Schools Families
NCSD is implementing a new system to improve student safety and bus tracking. Here's what you need to know:
Student ID Cards: All students will receive ID cards to scan when boarding and exiting the bus. This helps us ensure every student gets on the correct bus and arrives at the right stop.
StopFinder App: You can download the free StopFinder app to track your child's bus in real-time and receive notifications about their arrival and departure. If you don't have access, email schoolbus@nyeschools.org .
Timeline:
Starting January 6, 2025:
Bus Drivers will be requesting that students use their ID’s to swipe on/off the bus
If students do not have their ID they will be reminded to get an ID from the school and will need to provide their name and the driver will manually log them on/off
No student will be refused a ride unless it is determined they are not assigned to that bus/route
Starting January 21, 2025:
All students must have their own ID’s and swipe to get on/off the bus
Students who do not have their ID’s will be reminded that they need to have one and the driver will manually log them on/off the bus
No student will be refused a ride if they forget/lose their ID, however student who repeatedly forget/lose their ID’s will be reminded three times verbally, 3 times using Bus Tickets, then 3 times using Incident Reports and may be suspended from utilizing the school bus.
For communities outside of Pahrump, the program will be rolled out once all of the new buses are delivered to each location and the Pahrump program roll out is complete, which is expected to be during the third quarter of the 24/25 school year.
We're committed to ensuring the safety and efficiency of our school bus transportation. If you have questions, please contact your child's school or the Transportation Department.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Sincerely,
NCSD Transportation Department
