- View bus numbers, stops, and times
- Track real-time GPS updates

The school district said that all K-12 students will receive Student Success Cards this year. Students will need the cards for the following:

- Serve as ID for school and events
- Allow check-in/out at school
- Connect with lunch accounts
- Be used for more services soon (like library checkout!)
Students riding the bus must carry their SUCCESS CARD, the school district said.
Grades 7-12 will be required to use their cards throughout the school day.
