EICS Busing Fees for the 2025-2026 School Year

If your child is being bused to an EICS school in Fort Saskatchewan or Vegreville, that service is provided by another school district whose fees may vary in price.

Please refer to the proper school district for their fees:

  1. Access the online payment system by logging into your PowerSchool Parent Portal
  2. Click on “Student Fees and Forms” in the Navigation tool bar.
  3. Select “Checkout” and then click “Submit Payment”.
  4. Put the full amount owing into the cart and hit “Submit”.
  5. An option for a payment plan will be made available at this point.

Payment Plan applications can be found on the PowerSchool Parent Portal. Payments will be required monthly, August through January.

For students who are bused by EICS, no refunds will be issued after September 30, unless:

  1. Your child leaves an EICS school prior to the end of the school year.
  2. Your child is a designated student who moves outside the eligible distance requirement during the school year.

In both situations, you shall be refunded a prorated portion of that child's transportation fee.

*Refunds will not be processed until the bus pass has been returned to the EICS Transportation department.  

Refund Process

Transportation fee refunds and credits on accounts will be applied in the following order:

  1. Outstanding fees payment.
  2. Kept on account for payment of future fees.
  3. Transferred to sibling fees, on request.
