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.

Step 2: Change your password
