How to Use Bus Tracking in the TeachKloud App
TeachKloud's Bus Tracking feature lets educators share live location updates with parents when collecting or dropping off children. It's designed to keep families informed and give them peace of mind.
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you get started.
Start a New Route
Log in to the TeachKloud app.
Tap the last button on the bottom right of your screen (menu button).
Scroll down and select Bus Tracking.
Tap New Route in the top right corner.
Select the child or children who are currently on the bus or being transported.
Tap Create Route (top right again).
🔔 Parents will be notified that a live location has been shared. They’ll be able to track the bus or car in real time.
➕ Add More Children During the Route
Picked up more children on the way?
Tap Update Children.
Select any new children who have joined the route.
Tap Update Route.
🔔 This will send new notifications to parents of the added children, so they can also begin tracking.
End the Route
When you’ve reached your destination, tap End Sharing.
Parents will receive a notification confirming that location sharing has ended and their child has arrived.
Use Cases:
Morning pickups before school/creche
Afternoon drop-offs after service
Field trips, transport between locations, or any child-related journey
Tips for Educators:
Make sure your device has location permissions enabled
Keep mobile data or Wi-Fi turned on for accurate tracking
Always end the route to stop live sharing when you’ve arrived
