FirstView App
Dear Parents and Caregivers:
In collaboration with our transportation partner, First Student, Leominster Public Schools is relaunching FirstView®, a real-time GPS vehicle tracking and student transportation monitoring platform.
With FirstView, parents and caregivers can download the secure, easy-to-use vehicle tracking mobile app that will allow you to stay easily connected with your student(s) daily trips.
• See the real-time vehicle location via GPS and track its progress.
• Easy access to vehicle details as well as updates regarding any changes.
• Receive multiple distanced-based ETA notifications when the vehicle is getting close.
• Set-up family members and caregivers to receive trip email alerts.
• Dedicated customer support team for all app-related questions.
Let’s get you started with FirstView!
Step 1: Download* the free, easy-to-use mobile app, which is available on both iOS and Android devices. Search for app name: FirstView 1.0 and register for a new account.
*Not all devices are compatible and must meet the minimum operating system requirements. Users from previous versions of FirstView will not migrate over and all users must create a new account.
Step 2: Set up your FirstView 1.0 mobile app profile. You’ll be
asked to provide:
• The 5-character District Code: H6N3Z – NEW CODE
• Your student’s first and last name
• Your student’s school of attendance
• Your student’s assigned trips
Step 3: Add distance notifications to be alerted in the app or via push
notification when the vehicle is close to your student’s stop location. To set
this up in the app, click on Set Distance Notifications. You can edit or add
additional distance notifications by clicking on the notification bell and
selecting Notifications Settings.
Optional: Add yourself and/or other family members and caregivers as a
notification recipient to receive email alerts. To set this up in the app, click
on the notification bell and select Manage Recipients.
Step 4: Once you have added your student(s), set-up distance notifications,
and signed up for email alerts, begin tracking your student’s daily trips on the map!
- The FirstView® map screen shows you the live location and direction of your student’s bus, your student's stop schedule for the current day and timestamps for school arrivals and departures.
- Analyzing route and real-time GPS data, we determine an estimated time of arrival to your stop provided on the FirstView® map.
- Set up push or email notifications alerting you when your student's bus is a chosen distance or number of minutes away from your stop.
- Receive push messages about why your student’s bus is late and an estimation of how long it will be delayed.
- Buses for all your students can be tracked with FirstView®. Using individual colors for each student, every selected stop appears on the map simultaneously for easy viewing and differentiation.
- The main user of the FirstView® app can connect three additional email accounts to receive email alerts.
- FirstView® requires a password-protected account along with your student’s ID for app set-up. This way, only you can view your student’s stop.
- Register and log-in from your smartphone, tablet or desktop.
