On the HCTB Settings screen, you can specify messages to be shown to users when they are creating a Here Comes the Bus (HCTB) account through the app. You can add messages that tell them how to obtain student ID information, their school code, and bus stop data. This article covers how to set the second of these, to be displayed when the app prompts them for their school code.
