🚌 Nothing says school quite like getting to ride the school bus. Please visit this link to read information about GCCS transportation. Please note, students who have the same address and rode the school bus last year do not need to sign up for transportation again.

Download the My Ride K-12 application for real-time bus updates.

Please click this link to access elementary student handbooks. We have seen a rise in students bringing toys to school. Please read below to see our policy on items brought to school.

Breakfast – $2.00 / reduced price $.30. If your student is going to eat breakfast, please have them arrive to school as close to 8:40 as possible (if not a bus rider) so they may begin their academic day at 9:00.
