Staunton City Schools Transportation Department manages all student transportation including bus routes, extracurricular events, and specialized transportation. We are here to get students to and from school and special events in a safe and efficient manner. Changes in address or bus routes should be communicated directly to each school for scheduling updates.
Staunton City Schools uses the Crosswalk K-12 app by UniteGPS to support school transportation safety. This mobile app lets parents and guardians see their child's bus assignments, track their child's bus location in real time, and see personalized ridership data.
Your child will receive a student ID badge at school that they'll swipe when they board their bus. This lets you track your child's bus location on the Crosswalk K-12 parent app. Many SCS students have already received a student ID badge that will work for bus onboarding.
If you registered last year, you're good to go. Unregistered families should receive a customized email from UniteGPS (unitegps13@unitegps.com) by Friday, Aug. 9 inviting you to create an account. UniteGPS is the company that provides the Crosswalk K-12 system. Please check your spam/junk folder if you don't receive an email by Aug. 9. NOTE: You will only receive an invitation from UniteGPS if your email address is accurate in PowerSchool. Review your email address to be sure it is accurate.
The link you'll receive will be customized to ensure you are the only person with access to your child's bus route.
Please see this video (Spanish) below for a brief tutorial on setting up your account and the parent app on your mobile phone, desktop, or tablet.
