STOPFINDER

Rogers Public Schools uses Stopfinder to help eligible families view their students’ bus schedules through a mobile app available on iOS and Android devices.

Stopfinder is available to families who attend their boundary school and live in an area where transportation is provided.

To receive a Stopfinder invitation, families should make sure the following information is current with their child’s school:

  • Student home address
  • Primary contact email address

Stopfinder invitations will be sent to the primary email address listed in the student’s profile. Families without a valid email address on file will not be able to receive an invitation to create an account.

Additional details, including a step-by-step guide and personal invitation, will be shared with families before school begins in August.

Need help? Please contact your child’s school office.

TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION

Expectations for riding the buses in Rogers Public SchoolsStudent safety is our highest priority. District buses are equipped with safety features designed to support safe transportation, including:

  • Two-way communication systems
  • Front crossing safety gates
  • Roof-mounted warning strobes
  • Interior camera systems
  • Transportation management and routing technology

Students are expected to follow school and bus safety rules while riding district transportation. The school bus is an extension of the classroom, and maintaining a safe environment requires cooperation from students, families, and staff.

  • Know your child’s bus number and assigned stop location.
  • Students should arrive at their bus stop at least 10 minutes before the scheduled pickup time.
  • Make sure your child’s home address and primary contact email are current with the school.
  • Review bus safety expectations with your child throughout the school year.
  • Contact your child’s school office if transportation information needs to be updated.

Student safety is always our top priority during hazardous weather and other emergencies.

When road conditions are unsafe, Rogers Public Schools may delay the start of school, dismiss early, cancel school, or implement limited bus service.

During limited bus service, buses may not be able to travel on certain roads. In these situations, students may be required to meet the bus at an alternate pickup location along a main road that can be safely accessed.

Families will be notified through ParentSquare, the district website, and the district’s official social media channels when school operations are affected.

Transportation-related updates may also be shared through Stopfinder when available.
