First Student Transportation
Beginning in the 2021-22 school year, Hockinson Schools are working with First Student Transportation to provide safe, timely, experienced transportation service for its students.
Some of the reasons we are excited to be working with First Student Transportation include:
-
An entirely new fleet of 2021 clean-burning diesel buse that are fuel-efficient and equipped with multiple safety features, including large windshields for excellent visibility, security cameras, and an external PA system to communicate with students in the event of unsafe conditions.
- Training and ongoing coaching on driving skills and how to effectively work with diverse students;
- On-bus tablets to ensure consistent performance. These devices are loaded with route and stop information as well as turn-by-turn navigation for regular and substitute drivers
- Daily safety inspections and disinfection;
- The FirstView app, which will be available to HSD families this fall. The app enables parents to track pick-up times and also confirm the arrival time of your student’s bus. It also alerts parents when their student's bus is running late or if there are any safety notifications.
Schools will also have access to First Student's District Dashboard, which will provide us with a real-time snapshot of the status of all district buses. This 360-degree communication will go a long way in reducing surprises and increasing awareness, performance, and family satisfaction.
Feel free to contact First Student directly with questions, concerns, and compliments. Phone is: (360) 841-7099. Email is: danyell.cantrell@firstgroup.com.
