Dedicated customer support team for all app-related questions.
Let’s get you started with FirstView!
Step 1: Download* the free, easy-to-use mobile app, which is available on both iOS and Android devices. Search for app name: FirstView 1.0 and register for a new account.
*Not all devices are compatible and must meet the minimum operating system requirements. Users from previous versions of FirstView will not migrate over and all users must create a new account.
Step 2: Set up your FirstView 1.0 mobile app profile. You’ll be
asked to provide:
The 5-character District Code: AHE96
Your student’s first and last name
Your student’s school of attendance
Your student’s assigned trips
Step 3: Add distance notifications to be alerted in the app or via push
notification when the vehicle is close to your student’s stop location. To set
this up in the app, click on Set Distance Notifications. You can edit or add
additional distance notifications by clicking on the notification bell and
selecting Notifications Settings.
Optional: Add yourself and/or other family members and caregivers as a
notification recipient to receive email alerts. To set this up in the app, click
on the notification bell and select Manage Recipients.
Step 4: Once you have added your student(s), set-up distance notifications,
and signed up for email alerts, begin tracking your student’s daily trips on
the map!
