“Our Mission: To transport students safely and in a timely manner to their destination, helping to make sure they are physically and emotionally ready to learn.”

It is important to remember that the school’s rules apply to and from school, at school, on school property, at school-sponsored events, and on school transportation. In some cases, a student can be suspended from school for infractions of school bus rules. If a student is suspended from the regular bus, they will not be able to ride an activity bus.

The GCS Transportation Department is excited to continue using the App “Stop Finder”. This app will provide am/pm route times for your student(s), alert you if the bus is going to be earlier or later than expected, and provide communication from our department.  An invitation has been sent to your email address and will come from Stop Finder.  Please notify the transportation department with questions.
