Chipmunk is an exciting, brand-new parent / guardian app offered by CLASS that increases the transparency of school bus travel each day. 

 

 

 

What Is Chipmunk?

Using real-time GPS data and integrated with CLASS’s routing software, Chipmunk tracks your student’s school bus and sends push notifications that keep you informed about where the bus is, when it arrives at your child’s stop, and it will provides alert notices for delays and service cancellations that affect your child’s bus.

How Do I Get Chipmunk?

One-Time Steps to Get Chipmunk

  • Download CHIPMUNK from the Google Play or Apple App Store.
  • Select CLASS from the dropdown menu
  • Log in using the same email address & password used to create your parent portal.
  • Children attached to your CLASS parent portal will be automatically assign to the Chipmunk App.

 

How Does It Work?

All CLASS school buses are equipped with GPS (Global Positioning System) trackers that locates the position of the bus. Chipmunk mobilizes this information in a simple but meaningful way – with both a map and ETA information – so that you can be prepared for the arrival of the bus.

MY STUDENTS
Automatically lists all students attached to your  CLASS parent portal. Selecting each student will provide School, Grade and Home Address information

MAP
Select student from the drop-down menu and a map of home and school will appear. Once that student’s bus is moving you will see the path of the bus.

ETA
Provides expected time of arrival/time the bus will start its route for each student

ALERTS
Provides any ALERT information pertaining to your assigned buses such as delays and cancellations.

SETTINGS

  • Ensure Radius and Alert Notifications are ON.
  • You can edit your Notification Circle for each child to receive push notifications when the bus enters the radius.
  • The Notification radius can be different for each child and for morning vs. afternoon bus.
