Buses
Attention Parents and Students
Routes for the 2025-2026 school year will be available for viewing in mid to late August. Please look for an announcement in the ISD Weekly Bulletin alerting families that Elink is open for viewing routes.
Bus passes for transportation to choice programs or out-of-neighborhood students will not be available until late September. We require a month to evaluate routes and verify student counts in order to decide which routes are open for bus passes and which are closed due to being at capacity. Guardians will need to transport these students for at least the first month of school while routes are being evaluated. In September, there will be an announcement in the ISD Weekly Bulletin that bus passes are available. Please contact us at that time to see if there is space available on a route near you for your student.
If your student lives with guardians who reside at 2 separate addresses within the student's school attendance area, your student will automatically be assigned to a route for the primary address in Qmlativ. You will need to contact us every year to get a permanent bus pass for your student to ride the secondary route for the second address. These families do not need to wait until September to be assigned a bus pass.
Elink login procedure to find your bus route
Username and password – unique to Elink (NOT your Skyward Family Access login)
- Your username will follow this format: studentfirstname.studentlastname If the student has more than one first or last name, the system will put either a space or a hyphen between the names. Please look at how your student's name is entered in Skyward Family Access to determine if it is a space or hyphen.
Examples:- jennifer.lang for a student named "Jennifer Lang"
- jennifer.lang smith or jennifer.lang-smith for a student named "Jennifer Lang Smith"
- Your password will be the student's date of birth in this format: MMDDYYYY . Please note that the password does not contain any dashes or periods.
Example:- 03152015 for a student born on March 15, 2015
Click one of the links below to login to either your student's General Elink to view 24-25 bus route information or Snow Elink to look up inclement weather stops.
Click here to login to General Elink to view 2024- 2025 Bus Route Information
Please have your student at the snow route stop 5 minutes prior to their normal bus stop time unless there is a school delay. If there is a delay, your pick up time is one or two hours after your normal bus stop time. Please have your student dressed for the weather. It is our goal to have the buses arrive on time to the snow route stops, but delayed buses are a possibility. If the alternate stop is used in the morning for pick up, the same location will be used in the afternoon for drop-off. If the information in Snow E-link is the same as your student's regular E-link information, your student does not have an alternate snow stop location.
Once logged in, click "students" from the menu at the top.
Click "View My Students."
Select your student.
Bus information will display. There will also be an option to print a PDF version of routes.
Login issues
If you are having trouble logging in on E-Link, please try these tips before contacting the Transportation department.
- Does your student have a common name? Try adding ".1" after their name. For example: john.smith.1
- Make sure you used the correct password format (MMDDYYYY).
- Make sure you are using the correct E-link login information and NOT your Skyward Family Access login information.
- Make sure you are using the correct E-link and NOT the Snow E-link. Snow E-link information will not be available until October.
- If you marked any part of your student's file as confidential (phone number, address) you will not be able to use E-Link to login to view your student's bus route. You will need to contact Transportation to obtain your student's route information.
If you are still having issues logging in, please email Transportation.
