We have an exciting announcement! Your child’s school, Pine Level Elementary, was chosen to test the new student ID scan cards. This is a web-based application that will let you see what school bus your child scanned onto as well as when your child scanned to enter and exit the school bus.

Johnston County Public Schools has teamed up with Education Logistics, Inc. (Edulog) to offer this new technology as a pilot at your child’s schools. It is completely free, and we are one of the first in the state to perform this test with the new system! Edulog is the same company that supplies our school district with bus routing technology and the Edulog Parent Portal.

How it works is simple! The pilot program begins on Thursday, May 2, 2024. Visit Edulog Parent Portal in the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store to set up your account – it’s quick and easy. All you need is your student’s ID number, date of birth, school name, and first and last name to get signed up. 

Once you are registered or if you are already registered, activate the scan notifications by:

  1. Going to the settings in the app

  2. Select notification setting

  3. Then click scan notifications


The instructions are simple, but if you need help, a video is provided below:

What will the student ID scans tell you?

  • The bus number your child entered and exited

  • Real-time view of when your child scanned to get on and off the bus.

  • Real-time view of the current location of the bus

  • The scheduled pick up and drop off times for your child’s bus stop

  • Notifications of when the bus has reached its final destination (the school in the morning and your bus stop in the afternoon)


The student ID card will also serve as a multipurpose card to be used in the library, café, and on chromebooks.


We are very excited to offer this technology and hope you will find it beneficial as we try to provide every parent with piece of mind by knowing when your child got on and off the school bus. In the future we will solicit your feedback on the pilot program. Your feedback will be very important to us as we decide whether to offer this at other schools.
