Families Must Sign Up Bus Riders

Families of FCPS students who plan to ride a bus to school in 2025-26 (even occasionally) should register their intentions with the district as soon as possible. Our Transportation Department’s new routing system requires that students sign up in advance so that FCPS can assign bus routes to registered riders.* 

Updating your student’s transportation needs now is crucial for a smooth start to the school year. It allows FCPS staff to plan bus routes and share the details before the first day of school in mid-August. 

By Aug. 3, please follow these steps to register your bus rider(s):

1. If you do not have an account or you need a username reminder or a password reset, please visit our Campus Parent Support Site. 
2. Log in to Campus Parent. 
3. Click Online Registration on the bottom right side.
4. Click Start under Annual Update / New Student Registration.
5. On the next screen, verify that your student(s) information is listed correctly and then click Begin Registration. Choose yes/no on whether the student needs bus transportation. Be sure to confirm your family’s household information and emergency contacts, too, so that our Infinite Campus records are current. 
6. Move through the steps to complete and submit the form.

Starting Aug. 4, please see your school’s registrar to sign up bus riders or get answers to any related questions.

After you have completed student data updates through Campus Parent, you can log in to our new School Bus Portal, which gives you direct access to your own student’s details. For questions or assistance, please contact your child's school.

Note: Bus routes are subject to change anytime, especially during the early weeks of a new school year.  Families will receive an email if a transportation change affects their student -- provided the student is a registered bus rider. 

* Reminder: The same policies and philosophies from the past still apply. If an unregistered student shows up at a bus stop in the morning, they are permitted to board and ride to school. (The student should confirm with the driver that the bus is going to the school they need to get to.) For the occasional afternoon rider, a bus pass from the school office will still authorize a student on a specific bus to go to a specific stop for that specific day or time period.
