Waterbury, CT – A new tool is making it easier for parents and guardians to keep track of their children’s school buses. The Durham Bus Tracker app provides “almost” real-time updates on bus locations, routes, and arrival times for Waterbury Public Schools.

Available in English and Spanish, the app allows parents to:

• See the bus route and scheduled stops
• Track the bus location live
• Check estimated arrival times for each stop

“Knowing where your child’s bus is gives families peace of mind, especially during busy mornings,” said a representative from Waterbury Public Schools.

Bus Safety and Behavior Guidelines

👉🏾Subscribe to receive emailed articles daily!

Parents are reminded that school bus transportation is a privilege, not a right. Kindergarten and Grade 1 students must have an adult or older sibling at the bus stop, and parents are not allowed to board the bus.

Students should:

• Arrive at the bus stop 10 minutes early
• Board the bus safely and orderly
• Remain seated while the bus is moving
• Use respectful language and follow the bus driver’s instructions
• Keep hands, feet, and belongings to themselves
• Avoid blocking aisles or emergency exits
• Do not eat on the bus for safety
• No weapons or fighting

Following these rules helps ensure a safe, efficient, and respectful ride for all students.
