The GSCS transportation department is in the Annual Transportation Registration Process that takes place each school term. Our goal is to capture each returning students' transportation needs for the upcoming 2024-2025 school term. Capturing this information ensures that all scholars utilizing the bus can access accurate schedules and stop locations prior to the beginning of the new school term. This information will also be made available at your school’s open house ceremony. An individual request for each student is completed via the Transportation Request Form.
Reminder: Submitted requests are due no later than March 31st, 2024. Forms must be be completed if your student:
1. will need to be transported by school bus AM/PM or Both
2. needs an alternate stop.
*Alternate stop requests are subject to approval and contingent upon seating availability. Alternate stops will only be approved once per semester and can only be AM/PM or Both. We will not honor daily requests. Please note that alternate stops can take up to August 19, 2024 for approval as initial requests are the priority.
