As you are preparing over the summer for the return of school, be aware of the changes to the start times for the 2024-25 school year and beyond.

In conjunction with the new start times this fall, our transportation team has been working to finalize new bus routes for the 2024-25 school year.

These will be new routes and times for both our students and our drivers, so please have patience during the first few weeks of school as everyone adjusts to the new routine.

Gahanna Residents in Need (GRIN) is once again hosting a Back to School Fair to prepare our families in need for the coming school year.
