My Boy- ADHD combined type

Hi! My 3rd child was diagnosed two years ago with ADHD combined type. He has been doing really well on Focalin 15 mg. It’s like night and day! However, after school when the meds wear off he sometimes does not come home right away after school. Just goes with friends to their house (parents are home) but it’s nerve-wracking. And I don’t know where he is. So I go searching and I always find him. He knows better. How can I get him to remember to check in? He is eight years old. I thought about buying him a cheap phone so he could call and check in but that’s not feasible. Is there a tracking device I can buy to tack onto his clothes?
