E-link Instructions

Welcome to FHPS Transportation’s e-Link!

You will be able to access your child’s bus route information here by following these instructions. You must have your student ID number to be able to use this program. It is located on your student’s report card or in the parent portal.

Please contact your school if you need help locating your student ID number.

e-Link Instructions

Step 1: Login to Versatrans e-Link

Your USER NAME:

The 5-digit student ID of your child.

Your PASSWORD:

The 8-digit date of birth you have on file with the school for that student. First two digits for the month, next two digits for the day, and final four digits for the year of birth. (Example: 08052005)

Do NOT check the “Authenticate using Network Credentials” box when logging in.

Step 2: Change your password

You will be prompted to change your password from the initial password, which is the student’s date of birth.

Enter your password from Step 1 (the student’s date of birth) in the “Old Password” field and then enter a new password into the “New Password” and “Confirm New Password” fields.

All e-link passwords will be reset prior to each school year to your students 8 digit date of birth.

Step 3: View students
