Transportation Information for New Students

Glenbard West High School

Welcome to Glenbard West! If your student qualifies for bus transportation, we want to ensure you have everything you need to get started.

Bus Assignment Process

Once your student is fully registered in PowerSchool, we will submit a request for their bus assignment through District 87’s transportation provider. Bus routes and details are provided by the company after registration is complete - no need to contact the transportation office separately.

Stay Informed with the Here Comes the Bus App

We encourage all families to download and use the Here Comes the Bus mobile app. It allows you to:

• Track your student’s bus in real-time

• Receive alerts when the bus is near

• View pick-up and drop-off times
  
  

📱 Download Here Comes the Bus App

🔗 iOS (Apple App Store)
🔗 Android (Google Play Store)
 

You’ll need your student’s Glenbard-assigned ID number to register.

Need Help?

The bus company is still having issues with syncing its app with its database. However, we do not manage the app here at the building.  Parents should contact the bus company when receiving error messages:

For all other bus-related questions, feel free to contact our school office or visit the District 87 Transportation Page for more details.

We’re excited to welcome your student to Glenbard West - Go Hilltoppers!

Important message for all students taking the afternoon bus:
