Transportation Information
Please keep in mind that buses could possibly run a little behind the first two weeks of school, with all of the back to school traffic. Also, remember that Pre K busses do not run during the first two weeks of school, as the district is working feverishly to get an accurate count of students. You can contact the bus barn directly should you have any questions about transportation, (817)299-6060. Your patience is appreciated.
For Pre-kindergarten, Kindergarten & 1st grade students an adult must be present at the bus stop for drop off. They will not leave the student if you are in side of your home.
For more information, call transportation at (817) 299-6060. All Gideon Gators qualify for free bus transportation. Keep in mind that putting your child on the bus is typically quicker than sitting in the car pick up line.
