Daviess County Public Schools Transportation Department will be using a new parent app, Stopfinder, for student bus schedules and transportation communication. Stopfinder is the easy-to-use, all-in-one app that allows you to have the most accurate information about your student’s bus schedule at anytime from anywhere. The primary email address that is currently on file with the district will be used for Stopfinder setup. Parents can update their email in Infinite Campus in their parent portal on their own or they can contact their school’s front office to make changes to primary email addresses. To access your Parent Portal in IC from the Menu click “More” then Family Information. Be sure to click update to ensure changes are saved. Updates and changes need to be made prior to February 7, 2024. Stopfinder can be downloaded for free from the App Store or Google Play. Stopfinder will require an invite and registration through the district prior to accessing your student’s transportation schedule. Please watch for a Stopfinder invitation, which will be sent to your primary email address, beginning 02/14/2024. Please contact the DCPS Transportation Department with any questions at 270-852-7080.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the sunshine!
