🚍 Track Your Child's School Bus with the My Stop App!

Great news! The My Stop app is once again operational and ready to help Newton County Schools families stay informed about their student's bus route.

With My Stop, parents can:
• View the real-time location of their child's school bus
• See whether the bus is on the way or has already passed their assigned stop
• Receive updated estimated arrival times, automatically refreshed every five seconds to reflect traffic or other delays

Please note: As part of our system restoration, the My Stop link has changed.

Access My Stop here:

Login Information:
• Username: Your child's student ID number
• Password: Your child's date of birth in MMDDYYYY format (Example: January 15, 2018 = 01152018)

We encourage all families with students who ride the bus to log in before the first day of school so you're ready to track your child's bus route with confidence.

It’s was a great day with our SNP managers! Next week all staff return to get ready for our students!

As we continue preparing for the first day of school on Monday, August 3, it takes every member of Team Newton to ensure a successful start to the new school year.

From our teachers and paraprofessionals to our bus drivers, school nutrition professionals, school nurses, custodial teams, administrators, and so many others, every employee plays an important role in creating safe, welcoming, and supportive learning environments where our students can thrive.

Today, our School Nutrition Program Managers came together for a full day of training as they prepare to welcome students back to our cafeterias. The session included updated procedures, food safety guidelines, and training on new software to help ensure our schools continue serving nutritious, delicious meals efficiently each day.

Thank you to our School Nutrition team—and to every Newton County Schools employee—who is working hard behind the scenes to make sure we're ready for an outstanding 2026-2027 school year. We can't wait to welcome our students back!
