OLDER STUDENTS

Initially, your seating chart will be empty. You can click on any of the green “+” buttons to assign a student to that seat.

Note: The seating chart shown here is for a general education route, where elementary students can often sit (3) per physical bus seat. 

 Empty Seating Chart

For middle school and high school, you will probably only assign (2) students to a physical bus seat. Therefore, you will likely only choose to use seats "A" and "B" out of the (3) available seats.
