Craig Hill Parent Update
6/16/23
The 2022-2023 school year comes to a close next week. It has been such an exciting and inspiring year at Craig Hill. We have much to celebrate and be proud of.
Thank you all for your support of your children, teachers and support staff, and administration. As a collective, we soared, and our students benefited as a result. I appreciate you all so much.
I will miss Craig Hill. My experience as Principal here will live with me forever. I am a better person and leader because of my time working with you all and your children. I look forward to our last week together and all the celebrations!
Have a safe, productive and fun summer!
Thank you,
Your Proud Principal- Brandin Jones

23-24 Transportation Applications Due July 1
Greece Central’s Office of Student Transportation Services is now accepting 2023-24 transportation requests for private, parochial, and charter school students, as well as requests for busing to and from child care facilities. An application must be filed each year that service is requested. Child care transportation is only available for students in grades K-8.
CLICK HERE to complete the child care application.
CLICK HERE to complete the private/parochial/charter school application.
Applications must be completed by July 1. This deadline is important. Bus runs are established in the spring and early summer. Current residents who fail to request transportation by the July 1 deadline are not guaranteed service at the opening of school.
Applications received after July 1 will be accepted, but no new bus stops will be created to accommodate late applicants. Those missing the deadline will be transported from the closest established bus stop.
