Framingham Public Schools is working with Edulog to provide families with a mobile app to track the location of their child’s bus.
The hope is that families will have peace of mind knowing the location of the bus before it comes to pick up children and drop them off at school - and likewise, in the afternoon, it lets parents/guardians know where the bus is as it approaches the child’s drop-off in the afternoon.
The Transportation Department will still send real-time messaging via in app messaging if your bus number changes for a particular run due to a driver shortage. If this happens, you will receive instructions to follow the substitute bus for that day. To receive these operational messages, please be sure to enable your notification settings. To read those messages, you will need to visit the homepage and tap on the envelope icon in the top right corner.
Download The App
The app is called Edulog Parent Portal Lite and can be downloaded for free.

Bus Tracker Q&A

How do I follow a bus in the Parent Portal Lite App?
In order to get started, you must receive a registration code, which will be provided by Framingham Public Schools. This code is specific to one or more buses in the district. Go to the DISTRICTS tab, tap the plus sign (+) in the top right to add your registration code. When the code is accepted, you will see the name of your district and the number of buses (initially zero) that you are following. You might need to add another registration code for sny additional buses that you follow. For example, some children have a different AM or PM bus stop.

What does the date and time stamp mean on the map?
The last reported time for the school bus is displayed beside the bus icon
NOTE: App users should understand if the bus location has not been reported for a while, there could be problems with the GPS signal or other communications issues. Students should report to their bus stop at the usual time, at least 5 minutes before the expected arrival of the bus. The time display is important information to help parents correctly interpret the Where’s My Bus information.
