The Mercer Island School District is utilizing the Parent Portal platform and the EZ A2B app to notify families when their school bus is arriving for pick up and drop off during the school day.
The tabs below give tutorials on how to create a Parent Portal account and download and use the Bus Quest app to receive notifications and track your bus.
Families will first have to create a Parent Portal account. For best results, use an email address registered in Skyward to anchor your account. (Skyward is the student information system where you would have registered for school.)
The first parent/guardian listed in Skyward should be automatically linked to their students' transportation records. If you are the second or later parent/guardian listed and/or if your account doesn't automatically link to your students, follow the instructions below:
You will login into the EZArrivals app using the login you created for the Parent Portal. The EZArrivals app connects with Parent Portal to identify your student or students taking the bus and you will see them when you log in to the app.
Within EZArrivals app you can set up notifications for when your bus is arriving at your stop, see detailed route information, and make changes to your drop off and pick up area.
