Once you find an eligible stop contact your student’s school for a temporary one-day bus pass until we can process their registration.

Important Edulog Parent Portal Information:

Please note registrations in our Parent Portal App is a two-step process. The first-step is to be granted approval for your students information. The second-step is to submit a registration thru the request tab in the lower right corner.

If your child lives in two residences, each residence will need a registration form submitted. Please follow-up with a message in your registration stating your student has two residences. You can also email transportation@helenaschools.org to inform us about the two-residence registration. If you have a change of address, please contact your child’s school first so they can get the change into PowerSchool before registering for the fall. We will not be able to process your registration until PowerSchool has been updated with the new address.

Registration Information:

Registering your children for school does not mean they are also registered nor eligible for school bus transportation.  To find out if your child is eligible for transportation, please visit the Bus Stop page to the right. If you are eligible, it may take 4 to 6 days for transportation registration to take effect so please plan accordingly. Keep in mind that if you are eligible and register your children with Parent Portal to ride the bus, you must register each year. Failure to register each year means your child will not be assigned to a bus for transportation.

Letter From Our Transportation Manager

To: Parents/Guardians

Students are required to register for the bus every school year. When you register, your student will be assigned bus service for home to school or school to home services.

Transportation to daycare is not permitted.

If you need to register a duel-household student that resides at two different addresses, please send an email to Transportation@helenaschools.org and request bus transportation for both addresses.

Sincerely,
