Does your child ride a WCPS school bus? Download the "Edulog Parent Portal" app from the Google Play Store or Apple iTunes. Keep up with where your child's school bus is in real time and set up notifications to alert you when the bus is nearing your child's stop. (Note: For privacy purposes, you will need the child's name, student number/lunch number, and date of birth in order to set up an account)"
A new infographic (step-by-step instruction document) is available on the Parent Portal Resource Page. An updated YouTube video is also available on that page. Both of these resources feature new functionality where parents can create polygon alert zones, rather than just circles. This is helpful in eliminating high traffic areas where the student’s bus may pass by the notification area before making the passenger stop. Here's a link to the page: https://www.edulog.com/resources-parent-portal/
Some parents may be experiencing problems seeing their student’s transportation schedule or accessing their student’s information altogether. On Friday January 5, the app experienced an issue that impacted some parents.
If a parent has seen their student and student trip information in the app recently, but now is not able to, we recommend the following process.
* Log out of the app and log back in to reset the student data.
* If some data is still missing, delete the student from the student list (by swiping left) and then re-enter the student information by choosing ADD STUDENT (+) from the Student List tab.
Reminder: Wednesday, December 20, is an early release day for all WCPS students. All schools will dismiss two hours earlier than usual. Have a safe and happy Holiday break!
Reminder: Wednesday, November 29, will be an early release day for most Traditional Calendar schools, Carver Heights Elementary, & Goldsboro High.

Reminder: No school for students November 22-24. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving break!
