My Ride K-12

Parents/guardians and students can access their bus stop location, route and pickup time on the Traversa My Ride K-12™ website and mobile app. My Ride K-12 uses GPS technology to track the bus and show the location and time a student scans on and off the bus with a bus pass. Students, parents/guardians and Student Transportation staff are the only ones who can view this information as needed. 

***RIDE360 will no longer be supported effective May 1, 2024. Please switch to My Ride K-12.***

Bus Status

www.eips.ca/transportation/bus-status

This link allows you to see if the bus your child rides is running on time, has been delayed or has been cancelled. There is also an app available in the App Store/Play Store (yellow icon) which allows you to "favourite" your child's bus(es) and receive push notifications of delays and cancellations immediately. This is your fastest way to be notified of cancelled or delayed buses.

SchoolMessenger

Communication with our families is important to us. Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) uses SchoolMessenger as one way of sharing information directly with our families by phone and email. Messages may include bus cancellations or delays, inclement weather, upcoming events, last-minute cancellations, parental engagement opportunities, emergency notices and more.

You can manage your preferences for which message types you'd like to receive online or through the SchoolMessenger app, available through the App Store or Google Play

  • The first time you log in, select Sign Up in the top, right corner and create your account using the same email address on file with your child's school.
  • Refer to the SchoolMessenger Parent Account Guide for more information and detailed instructions.
