Step 1: Before You Register for Bus Services
To register for school bus service, your child already must be registered in a Rocky View School, with parents having received access to RVS' SchoolEngage/PowerSchool Parent portal. If you are new to RVS, you would have created a SchoolEngage account when registering for school. If your student is a returning RVS student, you will log in to SchoolEngage through your existing PowerSchool parent account. If you do not have an existing PowerSchool Parent account you will need to contact your child's school for assistance in creating one.
Step 2: To Register for School Bus Services
Current families: login to your existing PowerSchool Parent Portal. Once logged in, click on "SchoolEngage" located on the left-hand navigation menu.
New families: login to the SchoolEngage account you created when registering.
Click on "Students" located on the left-hand navigation menu, then click the name of the child you wish to register. If your student's name is not listed please contact your school for assistance.
Once you have clicked on your child's name, a list of student forms will populate on the right-hand side. Locate the Transportation Registration form for the year you wish to register your child and click 'New' to fill and submit.
Please note the option to submit your form will not appear until every field is completed in the proper format. Once the form has been filled out properly the submit button will appear at the very bottom.
Step 3: Payment for Bus Services
A minimum payment of 50 per cent of applicable transportation fees is due at the time of registration. Once you have completed all necessary applications and added them to your basket you must "checkout" to complete your payment. Forms that are submitted without payment will not be processed for approval.
- When registering after Jan. 15 only second semester fees will be available for payment.
For more information on our fees, please visit our Fees & Waivers page.
Step 4: Confirmation of Bus Services
Once your registration form has been submitted, you will receive an email from the Transportation Department confirming receipt of your application. Once the form has been received it will be forwarded to a Transportation Co-ordinator for review.
If the information provided on your form meets requirements for transportation service, your form will be approved and a subsequent email will follow. If for any reason your application is denied, you will be contacted by a Transportation Co-ordinator directly.
Now that your form has been approved, your student will be assigned to a bus route and a permanent electronic bus pass will be issued and mailed out. Please allow sufficient time for delivery.
Note: The start of term, students are added to the bus once a week and this may cause a delay in service. Your child may begin riding the bus only after you have received the confirmation email with the start date.
