How do I activate my ParentVUE account or update my contact information?
- Contact your school for activation verification or visit the EGUSD Synergy page for more information and to download the ParentVUE or StudentVUE apps.
- If you already have a ParentVUE account, you can send a request through ParentVUE to have your contact information updated.
If I have more than one student attending an EGUSD school, how can I tell which school sent the message?
- Unfortunately, the email system does not have an identifier that appears on the email; rather the sender will need to put their school’s signature in the message. EGUSD messages typically use the District’s logo, department signature, and/or “EGUSD” in the subject line.
If I have a student who rides the bus, aside from using the Here Comes the Bus App, where can I find information about bus delays?
- Please visit our Transportation Department’s website at: http://blogs.egusd.net/transportation/
- Look for the Bus Delay Update for either AM or PM and a list of bus routes is available at this link: http://blogs.egusd.net/transportation/bus-route-information/
- The updates are updated regularly and once your child has their bus pass, please download the Here Comes The Bus App to your SmartPhone and or visit their website: https://cpb-us-w2.wpmucdn.com/blogs.egusd.net/dist/3/2046/files/2021/05/Here-Comes-the-Bus-Flyer.pdf
Thank you for staying connected!
