Dear Parent/Guardian:
Welcome to the 2014/2015 School Year! Below is the information to assist you in starting off the busing year on track.
Located on the back of the scan card are your child’s name and bus number(s). Please ensure that your child carries this card as once scanned it verifies registration on the bus and, new this year, will allow you as a parent/guardian to confirm your child has boarded the bus
To access E-Link which will allow you to view your child’s bus schedule please login to VersaTrans e-Link at https://elink.eips.ca/elinkrp/Login.aspx. You also access this link through the EIPS division website at www.eips.ca.
To obtain the user name and password to access your child’s account please contact Student Transportation at 780-417-8151.
Once you have signed in to e-link for the first time, you will be prompted to change your password.
By logging in you will have access to view or print your child’s bus schedule or any pre-approved alternate busing arrangements.
“My Stop” will indicate where your child’s bus is enroute and the estimated time of arrival. A new feature to My Stop which will be available at the end of September will be the ability to see when your child scans on or off the bus. You can access My Stop by using the following link
https://onscreen.eips.ca/onscreen/mystop/loginmobile.aspx or through the EIPS Student
Transportation website at www.eips.ca. A QR code is also available on the back of bus scan card for your convenience. This site has the same user name and password that you use when accessing VersaTrans e-Link.
Please review the EIPS Bus Rules with your child so that they understand and can contribute to ensuring a safe bus ride when accessing an EIPS Bus. The bus rules also identify the guidelines for alternate busing arrangements and what equipment is permitted on an EIPS Bus route. To access the bus rules please select the “Bus Rules” tab in the Student Transportation section of the EIPS website.
If your child accesses a bus through a transfer station, for the safety and security of all students we ask that if you wish to pick your child up you do so at their school. To access the Bus Line Ups please select the “School Bus Line Ups” tab in the Student Transportation section of the EIPS website.
Should you require any additional information or if your child will not be utilizing EIPS bus service please contact our office at st@eips.ca or by phone at 780-417-8151.
