Automatic check-ins

Features
A safer, smarter school day
RFID lanyards, secure readers and real-time notifications keep students safe across school, bus and activities, with nothing for the student to do.
Bus tracking
Live GPS and boarding scans show who got on and off, and where. Get notified if a bus goes off route.
Smart alerts
Instant notifications for arrivals, departures, delays and critical events, sent to the right people only.
Built for everyone
Secure, role-based access for parents, school staff, bus drivers and district administrators.
Privacy first
No personal data on the card. Everything is encrypted in transit and at rest, and the system is designed around student privacy from the start.
How it works
Nothing for your kid to do
No app, no phone, no battery. The lanyard just works.

For parents and families
Bring WayBee to your school
A safer, more connected school day starts with your community. Register your interest and help your school board see the demand for real-time arrival, attendance and bus updates.
The parent app
Their whole school day, in your pocket
One secure account covers all your children. Check in on them anytime, or just wait for the alerts.
Privacy by design
The card knows a number. Nothing else.
We built this like paranoid parents, because we are. The chip carries an anonymous ID. Your child's name never leaves the school's secured system, only you can see your own kids, and location history is deleted on the district's schedule.
