GCTSD will run regular bus routes on Wednesday, February 4 and will only avoid areas that are not safe for travel. Use your best judgment if your child’s bus is unable to travel to your designated bus stop. If road conditions are hazardous and you do not feel safe traveling to school, please notify the school office and let them know you will be keeping your child at home. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
GCT will be running alternate bus routes this afternoon. ATTACHED
