Parents - did you know that if your child rides a bus to and from school, you have the ability to track the bus and to see when your child boards and exits the bus?
Install the NFT Parent View app on your mobile device to get access to student and vehicle tracking as well as notifications when there are unexpected changes to your child’s bus route.
Contact the ECISD Transportation Department at 979-543-5252 or email mfreeman@ricebirds.net to get account setup information.
