Starting a trip and recording a child boarding are separate actions. SkoolPro gives drivers a trip roster so they can record boarding and drop-off events alongside the active pickup or drop journey. Parents receive updates based on the recorded events.
Before you begin
Check the assigned bus roster before departure and clarify the school’s boarding procedure. The driver should make app entries only while safely stopped.
How the workflow works
1. Choose pickup or drop
Start the appropriate trip for the assigned bus and review the student roster.
2. Record boarding
At a safe stop, mark students who have actually boarded the bus.
3. Record drop-off
Record the child getting off after following the school’s handover process.
4. Complete the trip
Review the roster and end the trip when the journey is complete.
A practical school example
At a safe stop, the driver confirms Ali has boarded and records the event on the roster. Later, after the child gets off under the school’s handover procedure, the driver records that event and ends the completed trip.
What to check before relying on the result
These updates rely on driver entries. A map point or trip start does not prove a child boarded; incorrect roster events should be corrected through school procedures.
Try the workflow with your school team
Use the animated example on this page to walk through pickup & drop trips with the staff or family members who will use it. The illustration uses sample data; it does not log into a school or change any records. When reviewing the real workflow, check the intended school, person and date before saving or sharing information.
