Get on the bus!
The Elyria City Schools, partnering with First Student transportation, strives to transport students with both comfort and economy while following all state-mandated procedures.
FirstView
First Student offers a live tracking app called FirstView that makes it easy for parents to follow the progress of their student's bus before and after school.
FirstView uses GPS technology and is an excellent communication tool. To get started, check out FirstView at https://www.firstviewapp.com/
If you need assistance with the app, you can email FirstView or call the company toll free at 888-889-8920.
Please see the Parent App Flyer (Spanish) and Frequently asked Questions (Spanish) to help get you started. (Please contact your child's school building if you do not know the student ID number.)

Bus transportation is available to students who live more than 1.25 miles from their home school or if the route to school is deemed hazardous by First Student. (Students who are open-enrolled are not eligible for bus transportation.)
If your address does not qualify for transportation and you would like to request bus transportation, please complete a conditional form and First Student will make a determination and contact those who've applied.
Conditional requests will be reviewed after all eligible riders have been assigned by First Student and availability will depend on space.
