You can participate in live testing by downloading the app “Edulog Parent Portal.”

Once you’re at the sign-in screen, click “Sign in by an external provider” at the bottom of the screen. Then choose “Duval County Public Schools.” You then use your Linked Parent Account login credentials.

You will see your student’s bus route information after logging in. Until the testing period begins, that is all you will be able to see. After, you will be able to monitor the bus, including when your student boards and exits.
