SEARCHING FOR STUDENTS
Occasionally you may need to load a student who does not have a SMART tag™ card. There are times when a student is not listed on your roster. This section will equip you to load students who are not on your roster.
Here's how to search and load a student onto your bus:
While on the Roster screen, tap the yellow OPTIONS button.
TAP THE OPTIONS BUTTON

TYPE FIRST 3 LETTERS
When the student's name displays, tap on it.

An Inactive Rider is a student that has not ridden on the bus for the last 2-4 weeks, depending on your district setting.
After loading the student, tap the "Include Inactiver Riders" to revert back to the list of only active riders.
