The Office of Transportation announces the countywide implementation of BusWhere, a location tracking software, that allows subscribers to see bus locations in real time on a mobile phone or computer. Via the BusWhere app, subscribers may opt to receive notifications as the bus is approaching a designated bus stop or if there is a significant issue causing a delay.

On or about October 2, 2023, parents of bus riders should receive an e-mail invitation directly from BusWhere to create an account.

Please visit the main BCPS Web page for additional information.

For questions or concerns, parents as well as school based staff, may utilize the BusWhere Assistance Request Form via the enclosed linkhttps://forms.office.com/r/B7dDn7tt69

 

Anchored in Love, Strengthened by Unity, We ARE Gunpowder Family! 

 



Wishing you well today and sending love your way! 

Proud Principal, 
Wendy Cunningham
