Parents,
Transportation services are a critical part of providing a high-quality educational experience. The work of caring for kids begins with a safe ride to school. The Stevensville Public Schools are committed to improving the safety, reliability, and communication of our transportation services. This year, we need parents to register their children for transportation services. This is new and will help us to improve our transportation service and safety for students and families.
To get started please register your student for transportation services by clicking the link below. This should be done if you plan to have your child(ren) ride the bus to and from school at any time this year. Completed registration(s) for your child(ren) will help us determine eligibility and routing information. If your child(ren) live(s) two residences, please complete registration for both addresses.
Next, please download the edulog parent portal lite application on your mobile device. Detailed instructions and videos are available on the Stevensville School District Website under the Transportation tab. The application will be used to communicate registration status, if your child(ren) is/are on the bus, route details, stops, delays, weather issues and cancellations. If you have questions please email [email protected].
Respectfully,
Dave Thennis – Superintendent

RIDER CHECK IN
Each time a student rides the bus they will select their name on an electronic tablet. Drivers will be trained to assist younger students and ensure all riders have checked in. If the student is riding the wrong bus their name will not show up on the bus tablet roster. If a student is riding a bus other than the one they are assigned to, such as with a friend, this will be considered a courtesy ride.
COURTESY RIDE
Courtesy stops/rides are given to people who are either ineligible for transportation or are eligible but are asking for a stop not normally authorized. These are allowed on a case by case basis when certain circumstances exist, such as the stop is already authorized and in place, bus goes by the area, time/length of route or student load permits.
A courtesy ride must be arranged before 2pm on the day of the ride. To arrange a courtesy ride the guardian must call or email the school secretary, or send a signed and dated letter with their child. The parent needs to include the bus number and the stop that the child will be dropped off.
CHANGE OF ADDRESS
Anytime you have a change of address, please contact your child’s school immediately to update the change in Infinite Campus. We will not be able to process your transportation registration until Infinite Campus has been updated with your current home address.
TWO RESIDENCES
If your child lives in two residences, both addresses need to be in Infinite Campus as your child’s household. Please follow up with your child’s school to ensure both addresses are accurate. You can also email [email protected] to inform us about the two-residence registration.
ELIGIBILITY FOR SCHOOL BUS TRANSPORTATION
Students must be residing in the Stevensville School District No. 2 to ride a bus to Stevensville Schools. Visit the school district boundaries map to verify your district.
