We are excited about the opportunity to provide transportation to and from school and other events for the students of our district. A successful Transportation Department is an integral part of the educational process and we will take every step to ensure we deliver students to school as safely and efficiently as possible. Transportation is provided for students to and from the bus stop designated to service the student's residence of record. Students are expected to ride their assigned bus and load/unload only at their assigned stop.

StopFinder! Bus App

Overview

Hempstead ISD uses Stopfinder! as our bus routing software. Bus routes and stop locations may be accessed through the use of the Stopfinder! tool. To use this tool parents/guardians must have an email address on file with the school district. If you do not have an email address on file, please contact your campus registrar. 

Estimated bus stop times are available through the Stopfinder! tool. During the first few days of school, it is recommended that students are ready at the bus stop approximately 10 minutes prior to the estimated stop time until regular route schedules are established. Please be aware that bus routes and schedules may be modified as the school year continues in order to best meet the needs of our students. 

With Stopfinder, you can know when your child’s bus arrives at school – in real time! 

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 guardians

  • 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.

The app can be downloaded on Apple or Android devices.
