Before booking school transport, you must register a profile for each child requiring transportation:
How to Add a Child:
- Tap the School tab (Index 3 on bottom navigation) to open the School Transport Dashboard.
- On the Children card, tap the Add Child action chip (or tap the card and tap the floating + button).
- Complete the child profile fields:
- Full Name (*): The learner's full legal name as used for the driver's attendance roster.
- Grade: The learner's current school grade (e.g. Grade 4, Grade R).
- School (*): Type the school name in the School search bar. Select your child's school from the verified school directory. If the school is not yet listed, you can enter the school details directly.
- Home Address (*): Enter your residential pickup address using Google Places search suggestions, or select a pre-saved location from your Saved Addresses sheet.
- Pickup Notes: Gate access codes, intercom instructions, or specific complex directions.
- Medical Notes: Any allergies, chronic conditions, or emergency considerations the driver must be aware of while the child is in transit.
- Tap Save Child.
Important: Changing a Child's Home Address
If you edit a child's profile and modify their home address, the app displays a confirmation alert:
"Change Home Address? This change is saved permanently. The home address is used for daily pickup routing and may affect all current and future transport trips for this child. Please ensure this address change is communicated and agreed with your transport provider."
Tap Confirm & Save to finalize the address update.
Co-Parent Note: Linked secondary guardians view children as read-only. Only the account owner (primary parent) can add, edit, or delete child profiles.
