Transportation

Granville Schools welcome parents/guardians and families as partners, working together to ensure our students arrive to and from school in a safe manner. Our buses travel over 1,500 miles per day. We want every trip to be a safe one!

New Bus Route Organizational Tool

We will continue to use Traversa software to support the routing app called My Ride K-12. You will be able to access student bus information by logging in to My Ride K-12 through the web or downloading the app to your smartphone. You will have access to your student's bus number, driver's name, bus stops and pick up and drop off times. In addition, on the app, you will be able to see the location of the bus on the route. The transportation department can send notifications (through the phone app) of changes that may impact on your student's route, and you also will be able to send emails directly to the transportation department. See below or My Ride K-12 Parent User Guide Flyer.pdf to view the instructional flyer and download the app for your phone.

Transportation Staff

Our bus drivers are the first and last school staff to see your child each day! They are professionals, like your child’s teacher or principal, who receive certification to operate a school bus. Bus drivers must successfully pass a written test, a driving test, a physical examination, and federal and state background checks prior to driving. They must also complete classroom and on-the-bus training annually.

Bus Forms

Transportation Change Request Form

We will accept Transportation Change Requests only for changes to childcare arrangements and emergencies. When a temporary transportation change is needed, please complete this form, including your signature, and deliver it to your child’s school office. Please make all transportation change notifications by 11:30 a.m. Emergencies after 11:30 a.m. will be accommodated to the best of our ability. Thank you for helping us keep your children safe!

Bus Stops

Bus Changes

Students who are eligible to ride a bus may be picked-up and dropped-off at up to two (2) locations, as long as the schedule remains consistent throughout the school year. We will accept Transportation Change Requests for changes to childcare arrangements and in emergency situations. Please do not request changes for transportation to a friend's home, sleepovers, parties, athletic practices and other social-related reasons. Parents may make a one-day change using the Transportation Change Request Form.

Violation of these rules could result in the revocation of bus riding privileges.
