In an effort to prepare for your child’s transportation needs for the 2023-2024 school year please read the important information below.
Buses are the fastest and most efficient way for your child to get home from school. Buses dismiss from Craig Elementary beginning at 2:45p. Students in K must be met by an adult at their bus stop. You will find specifics regarding bus stops and times in either the Parent Portal or in eClass under Student Vue. For both of these, you will find bus information under the Student Info tab. If your student is new to GCPS, please contact the school for specific bus information.
If your student will be a Bus rider to home, there is no need to complete any forms.
Car Riders, Walkers or Day Care
If they will be a Car rider, Walker or ride a Day Care bus, please complete the Alternate Transportation Parent Authorization form attached. Leave the Teacher name blank and use their RISING grade, not their current grade. Please email completed forms to Kimberly.Ordaz@gcpsk12.org by May 15th for the 2023-24 school year.
All car riders must have a Craig ES window cling displayed to pick up students in the Car Rider line. Any person in the Car Rider line without a cling will be asked to park and go to the front desk to check out their student, with photo ID, and purchase a cling. Clings should be displayed on the upper passenger side of the windshield. Car rider numbers are assigned one number per family, not per student, and will be used for the entire time your family is at Craig ES. Clings are 2 for $2 and can be purchased on MyPaymentsPlus, pickup will be arranged before the beginning of the school year. After your initial purchase of 2, additional ones can be purchased from the Front Office for $1 each, cash only. The Car Rider line opens at dismissal, 2:45p.
If your child attends a Day Care, you will need to submit a verification form along with your transportation change form. Although we cannot endorse any individual facility, a list of day care facilities that provide transportation to and from our school can be found in the Day Care section of the Transportation page on our website.
