FirstView Bus Tracking App

In collaboration with our transportation partner, First Student, Boonville R-1 is relaunching FirstView (now called FirstView 1.0), a real-time GPS vehicle tracking and student transportation monitoring platform. With FirstView, parents and caregivers can download the secure, easy-to-use vehicle tracking mobile app, which allows you to stay easily connected with your students' daily trips. 

  • See the real-time vehicle location via GPS and track its progress.
  • Easy access to vehicle details as well as updates regarding any changes.
  • Receive multiple distance-based ETA notifications as the vehicle approaches.
  • Set up family members and caregivers to receive trip email alerts.
  • Dedicated customer support team for all app-related questions.

 

 

Let’s get you started with FirstView!

Step 1: Download the free, easy-to-use mobile app, available on both iOS and Android devices.

 

Search for app name: FirstView 1.0 and register for a new account. *Not all devices are compatible and must meet the minimum operating system requirements. Users from previous versions of FirstView will not migrate over, and all users must create a new account.

 


Step 2: Set up your FirstView 1.0 mobile app profile. You’ll be asked to provide:

 

  1. The 5-character Boonville R-1 District Code: V3Z3V
  2. Your student’s ID number
  3. Your student’s last name

Confirm your student's name to add them to your profile.

Step 3: Add distance notifications to be alerted in the app or via push notification when the vehicle is close to your student’s stop location. To set this up in the app, click on Set Distance Notifications. You can edit or add additional distance notifications by clicking on the notification bell and selecting Notifications Settings.

 

Optional: Add yourself and/or other family members and caregivers as a notification recipient to receive email alerts. To set this up in the app, click on the notification bell and select Manage Recipients.  

 

Step 4: Once you have added your student(s), set-up distance notifications, and signed up for email alerts, begin tracking your student’s daily trips on the map!

First Student Transportation buses are equipped with technology that pairs with the First View app. Families with students that ride Boonville R-1 buses daily can track the bus location to keep families informed. 

The First Student app is linked within the Boonville Pirates app. 

If you have not set up an account before, contact your student's school to obtain pertinent information for your student's specific bus. For student safety, this information must be obtained from school staff and will not be publicly posted.
