LaBrae Local School District

LaBrae Local Schools is excited to provide parents with our bus finder app, Stopfinder. Stopfinder is the easy-to-use, all-in-one app that allows you to have the most accurate information about your student’s bus schedule at any time from anywhere. In addition to displaying your student’s transportation information, Stopfinder includes a private messaging feature that will allow you to communicate directly with the LaBrae Transportation Department. You can also create GeoAlerts for your student, which will notify you when the bus has arrived or departed from any location on your student’s route, including their assigned bus stop and school. GeoAlert Alert Zones can be created for individual students allowing you to customize the Alert Zone based on their bus route.  Parents can even share their child's busing information with relatives and trusted friends.

The email address of the primary parent contact that is currently on file with the district will be used for Stopfinder setup. Please ensure that you have an accurate email for the primary parent contact on file with the school office.

Stopfinder can be downloaded for free from the App Store or Google Play. Stopfinder will require an invite and registration through the district prior to accessing your student’s transportation schedule. Please watch for a Stopfinder invitation, which will be emailed to your primary email address prior to the start of the school year.

Please contact Mrs. Carole Misinay, LaBrae Transportation Supervisor, at 330.989.0231 with any questions.
