Where is your child’s bus stop? This is one of those most important questions as we head back to school. You can register your request for a bus stop using the bus portal.
NEW For 2025 – 2026 YOU MUST REGISTER FOR A BUS!!
Families should sign up any students who will ride a bus to school (even occasionally) because FCPS assigns routes to registered riders.
Before Aug. 3, please proceed with these steps to update student records so that Transportation staff can prepare routes for the 2025-26 school year.
- Log in to Campus Parent.*
- Click “Online Registration” on the bottom right side.
- Click “Start” under Annual Update / New Student Registration.
- 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 to ride a bus to school.
- Move through the steps to complete and submit the form.
For assistance, call (859) 422-2140, -0211, -0210, -0209, or -0284.
* If you do not have an Infinite Campus account or you need a username reminder or a password reset, please visit the Campus Parent Support Site.
After Aug. 4: Please see your school’s registrar for assistance signing up or for answers to related questions.
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.
New Portal
Once 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. You will receive an email if a transportation change affects your student — provided that your child is registered as bus rider in Infinite Campus (via Campus Parent portal).
Getting to the Bus Portal is easy from the FCPS website. Just scroll to the middle of the homepage and find the Popular Shortcuts then click the bus!
2025 – 2026 Routes are not yet available – NEW System in place so this process may change
