We have a new way for you to track your student's bus starting next week!

The Beacon Connect Family App is designed to give you peace of mind by providing real-time notifications for boarding and arrival, and alerts for delays or emergencies.

To prepare for next week, parents can now download the app from their app store by searching “BC Family” and logging in securely using their phone number and a verification code. Make sure to "Allow Notifications" so that the app's functionality can ensure the most information about your student's bus ride reaches you in real-time.

More information about setup instructions can be found on our website (https://www.gardnerk12.org/914/Transportation) under "Transportation Links", and be sure to follow your child's correct route number in the app for updates!

If you need assistance with the app, please contact [email protected] or call the district at (978) 632-1000, ext. 4570.

To learn more about the app, check out this quick video from Beacon Connect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av3LAFalzGo
