The Hempstead ISD Transportation Department will be using a new feature on the transportation app, Stopfinder, for the upcoming school year. Stopfinder is the easy-to-use, all-in-one app that lets you have the most accurate information about your student’s bus schedule anytime from anywhere. 

What the App Can Do?

  • View your student’s daily transportation assignments 

  • Live View of Bus Location

  • Securely share your student’s schedule with other family members or babysitters 

  • Receive notifications and updates related to transportation 

  • Send messages to the Transportation Department through the app 

  • If you have multiple students in the district, you will see them all within the app together and see their specific assignments, even if they are at different schools. 


Parents/Guardians will need to ensure that their email and phone numbers are on file in ParentPortal. The email address currently on file with the district will be used for the Stopfinder setup. Please update your contact information in ParentPortal, so the district has the most updated information on file. Look out for a Stopfinder invitation, which will be sent to your primary email address between August 19 and August 23. 

If you have questions about Stopfinder please contact the Transportation Department at 979-826-3304 EXT 102. The app can be downloaded on Apple or Android devices.
