PWPSD rolls out school bus notification app
The Peace Wapiti Public School Division is rolling out a new smartphone app for families and staff to track the status of bus routes and receive notifications of late and cancelled buses.
The division says the new Bus Status app is available now to download from the App Store or Google Play and will replace the email notification system which will shut down on May 31.
Transportation Director for the division Ted Gobin says they wanted to launch the new app in June, as the likelihood of cancellations is much lower than during the fall and winter.
He adds this is a request many families have brought forward to PWPSD.
