Access to the Argo School app is restricted to Guardian cell phone numbers that have been authorized by your child's school. If you're having trouble logging in, it's possible that your phone number isn't listed as an authorized Guardian contact.

Our team will verify your information with the school and assist you.
Pickup and drop-off times are set for the entire school year and cannot be changed individually. This consistent schedule ensures efficient routes for all students. However, you can adjust your child's pickup or drop-off location within the existing bus route. To do this, simply use the Argo School app to select an alternative stop from the available options on your route.

Guardian presence is required for drop-off of students in grade 2 and below. When dropping off these students at their home address, driver eye contact with a Guardian at the door is sufficient.
Drivers will wait up to 2 minutes past the scheduled drop-off time for a Guardian to appear. If no Guardian is present after this 2-minute wait, drivers are instructed to transport the student back to the school for safety reasons. For students in grade 3 and above, Guardian presence is not required at drop-off unless otherwise specified. We implement these measures to ensure the safety and security of our youngest passengers.
Please inform the Argo team or your school.
Important: For safety reasons, only Guardians registered in the Argo system are authorized for student drop-offs. Please ensure all changes are communicated promptly to maintain up-to-date records and ensure your child's safety.
Argo bus drivers will wait for up to 2 minutes beyond the scheduled pickup and drop-off times. Your child's pickup and drop-off times will remain consistent throughout the school year.
To ensure smooth operations and respect everyone's schedules, please have your child ready for pickup at the designated time. Similarly, be prepared to receive your child at the scheduled drop-off time.
Your assigned driver profile is shown on the Argo School app. All Argo drivers have 3+ years of school bus driving experience, and have passed comprehensive background checks including vulnerable sector screening.
Argo school buses may arrive at stops ahead of the scheduled time. When this happens, students are welcome to board the bus upon its arrival. However, the bus will not depart from the stop until two minutes after the scheduled pickup time. The only exception to this rule is if all expected students at that particular stop have boarded the bus.
If your child misses the bus, you will receive an immediate notification through the Argo School app. In this situation, it becomes your responsibility to arrange alternative transportation for your child to or from school.
Our drivers must adhere to strict schedules to ensure timely service for all students, so they cannot wait beyond the designated time or return for students who have missed the bus.
Parents will be notified via email, text, and through the app.

We use standard yellow school buses (Type A & C).
