Wheres The Bus App
Hello Purgolders,
We have an exciting announcement for MPS families! MPS now offers an app called WheresTheBus for families with children who ride a bus to school. This app allows families to track their child’s bus in real time.
WheresTheBus lets families know precisely when a child’s bus will arrive at the bus stop. The app tracks the location of the bus and provides up-to-the-minute arrival times.
The app is free and can be accessed from any device with internet capability—smartphone, tablet, PC, or iPad. Apple iOS and Android apps are available.
This app will give families peace of mind by knowing where the bus is. Tracking the bus means students and families can wait in the comfort of home rather than standing outside in bad weather.
To access WheresTheBus, a parent/guardian must have a Campus Parent (parent portal) account with a login and password.
We expect that families may ask to set up a Campus Parent account to access WheresTheBus. Campus Parent accounts can be set up in one of two ways:
- At a child’s school during regular school hours; an ID is required
- At MPS Central Services, 5225 W. Vliet St., Milwaukee, WI 53208, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; an ID is required
Families will need to follow these steps to get started.
- Log in to Campus Parent.
- Search for WheresTheBus and click on the icon.
- Follow the registration steps and instructions.
- Download the app from the App Store (iOS/Apple) or Google Play (Android).
- Log in with your Campus Parent ID and password to open the app and see bus information.
How to Help Families
For issues accessing Campus Parent, families should contact the school or parentportal@milwaukee.k12.wi.us.
