• The District will send an invitation to StopFinder before the first day of school for students who are enrolled at CCPS schools. (Note: Only primary households will receive this invitation, and invitations will expire after 30 days.)
• Sometimes the email may go into spam folders, so if you aren't seeing one in your main inbox, please look in your spam folder.
• The email comes from: no-reply@stopfinder.com, the subject line reads: 'Clayton County Publicschools Transportation- Welcome to StopFinder, Student Bus Tracking App'
• You must accept the invitation from StopFinder FIRST to log in to the app.
• Once you activate through the link, it should prompt you to set up your password.  From that point, you can then log in to the app. 
• Parents/guardians of students can download the StopFinder app to their phone, tablet or other device via Google Play and the App Store.

A "Quick Start Guide" can be seen in the image below:

• A GeoAlert is meant to be used as an additional tool to notify a family their bus is nearby. CCPS expects students - with or without using this new tool - to arrive at the bus stop 10 minutes before their scheduled pick-up time. This will be outlined in the Stopfinder app. GeoAlerts can be created for each student.
• Open the map for the student you wish to create a GeoAlert for. The red and white icon will appear in the lower right-hand corner of the map. Tap the icon to open the GeoAlerts menu and select the Create GeoAlert option. You CAN create GeoAlerts for multiple students within one primary household.

• Announcements can be viewed by tapping on the StopFinder "Stoppy" icon at the bottom of the app. A blue notifications badge will appear with the number of unread messages.

Note: The District will continue to send announcements via traditional methods throughout this school year.

Announcements and other features of the app are only available to Primary Households. Those listed as the Primary Household in Parent Portal will, by default, be the Primary Subscriber via the app.

If you are a Primary Subscriber, you can share your student’s schedule with additional Stopfinder App users. Tap the ellipses menu button on the student card for the student whose schedule you want to share. A menu will open at the bottom of the screen – tap Share Schedule. Complete all required fields and tap “Share.”

Please contact your student’s school directly to update this information.  It may take a few days for the new information to be available in Stopfinder.

No, only Primary Subscribers can share student schedules.

Stopfinder subscriptions are for individual students. You will only see students your district has added to the Stopfinder app. If you have more than one student in the household, the same activation email will work for all your students.

Contact the transportation department to have the activation email resent.  The activation email will expire after 14 days.

You may be seeing a message that the vehicle location is unavailable or that no vehicle was found. Here are two ways to tell if the app is truly working:
