Bus Registration and WheresTheBus App
St. Charles Parish Public Schools is excited to welcome you to the 2025-2026 registration page for the bus and mobile app! This will help students and families who utilize bus transportation.
The app is called “Where’s the Bus?” Before downloading the app, families are asked to complete bus registration. If you registered for the app in a previous school year, you do not need to complete this step again.
Please note: If your child is 10 years of age or younger, you will be prompted to complete the 10 and under section.
BUS REGISTRATION: July 2025
When registering for the bus, you must provide the address that your child will use for bus service and complete a separate registration for each child in your household if you want to utilize SCPPS bus transportation.
The registration process also requires the student ID number. Families can locate the student ID number in the PowerSchool Parent Portal and on the child's report card. If you are unable to locate your child’s student ID number, please contact the Technology Helpdesk at (985) 785-3126.
When registering for the bus, you will be asked to provide an email address to receive a confirmation of your registration submission. Please allow a few days for your registration to process. As the Transportation Department finalizes bus operator assignments, please note that bus numbers may change between now and the first day of school.
Students will be assigned to only one bus for morning and afternoon bus service. Please make sure the address and contact information on file at the school remains up-to-date throughout the school year. If you need to change your student's transportation address after bus registration is complete, please email the transportation routing manager at kpaul1@WeAreSCPPS.org.
WHERES THE BUS APP:
Once you register for the bus, please download and register for the WheresTheBus app.
In addition to providing your student's bus number and approximate pick-up time, the app uses GPS to track the precise location of your child’s school bus in real time. By using this app on your phone, you will know if the bus is running late in the morning or afternoon. You will also know when the bus is approaching the bus stop and when the bus is on its way home!
The app is free for both Apple and Android devices and keeps your personal information secure.
