First Ride Program 

Our service providers will host one-hour workshops for new bus families this summer to educate children about school bus safety on and around the vehicle. HRCE Student Transportation will reach out to new bus families over the summer with more information. 

In the meantime, click here to learn more about riding the bus safely. Please contact transportation@hrce.ca or call 902-431-4723 if you have any questions. 

2024-25 Bus Information 

Information about student transportation for the 2024-25 school year will be available to view online through the BusPlanner Parent Portal later in July. 

Families eligible for transportation will receive an email to access the Parent Portal to view their child’s bus information once it is available. 

Once you receive the email, you must follow the instructions to activate your new Parent Portal account and create a password. Using previous Parent Portal login information will not work. 

If you can't find the email, please contact transportation@hrce.ca or 902-431-4723 for assistance. 

Over the summer, the HRCE Student Transportation team will also reach out to new HRCE families and those families who may require special needs transportation for their children with more information about busing. 

Reminder: The Student Transportation team is available to assist you and answer questions about busing all summer. When contacting the team, please ensure you have your child’s name, grade, school name and student ID number ready.
