If I get an Apple Watch series 3 with GPS for my elementary kid, will I be able to track her on the bus with Find My Friends?

She'd need to have an iPhone as well in order for that to work.

That is correct. In which case, the watch is redundant. She would need to have the cellular model in order for you to track her without a phone.

Ok cool, I will just get the cellular model then.

The watch still needs to be paired with a phone, even if that phone stays at home. Probably don't want that to be your phone.
