Transportation Reminder: FirstView App
Parents/Guardians of students who ride resident district buses are encouraged to download and register for the FirstView App as soon as possible.
We have moved to using the FirstView App instead of paper transportation information to improve efficiency and ensure students, parents/guardians, and staff have access to transportation information in real time. After reading this message, please click on this link which connects you with directions to register for the app and how to set up notification alerts, and more, https://sd.hpsd.school/page/bus-transportation-information.
Through FirstView, you can view:
Your child’s assigned bus
Bus stop location
Scheduled pick-up time
Scheduled drop-off time
Notifications if the bus is running late
An alert when the bus is approaching your stop
Other helpful transportation updates and notifications
Using FirstView allows transportation information to be communicated more efficiently and provides families with timely, real-time updates regarding their child’s bus.
We encourage all families whose students ride resident district buses to register for FirstView as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and partnership as we continue working to provide safe, efficient, and reliable transportation for our students.
We are looking forward to the 2026-2027 school year! Hancock Place School District opens up for students on Monday, August 24th!
With students back in classrooms, school buses are back on the road and students are walking and waiting at bus stops across our community. Please slow down, stay alert, and help us keep our students safe!
🟡 Yellow Flashing Lights: Slow down and prepare to stop
🔴 Red Flashing Lights + Extended Stop Arm: STOP and STAY stopped until the lights stop flashing, the arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving again.
Reminders from MoDOT:
If you're driving on a two-lane connected roadway, you MUST STOP for school buses with flashing lights and an extended 'stop' sign. This is the law for traffic moving the same AND opposite directions of the bus. On roadways with four or more lanes, traffic flowing the same direction of the bus must stop. Traffic on the other side of the median or barrier should use caution.
