Who to Call With Questions
Building trust and ensuring that there are open lines of communication between home and school are essential for student success. We want to be sure you know who to contact with questions or concerns. This document, Who to Call with Questions, Concerns and Compliments is a step-by-step reference guide families can use to ensure questions are answered quickly and effectively. Please refer to it whenever you need to speak to someone about your child’s progress. Whether your inquiry is about academics, safety, or services and supports, there are people at the school and district level who are ready to help whenever a question or concern arises.
2023-24 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.

Early Childhood Education
One More/One Less: Play a fun addition game in the car or on the bus. Tell your child a number less than 10 and ask, “What is one more?” or “What is one less?” For example, 5 plus one more is 6! Five minus one is 4! For older students, try this game with larger numbers.
Letters Are All Around Us: Next time you go to the grocery store or get the weekly specials in the mail, invite your child to play this game with you! While at the grocery store or using the advertisement, invite your child to practice identifying letters. Say the name of a product and ask him or her to identify the letter, say the sound and even find the first letter in the ad or on the item at the store.
