Mr. Fuller’s Latin students brought food culture, sports, geography, and more to life using Latin vocabulary! Using Google Slides and our new interactive panels installed in middle school classrooms, students shared engaging presentations with their peers. Did you know? One student shared that Marostica, Italy, hosts a “human chess” event every two years...with real people as the pieces in the town square!

GDRSD Bus Routes for the 2026 - 2027 school year have been posted on our Transportation page.

As a friendly reminder, it is helpful to ensure that your home address is clearly numbered and visible from the street, both on your home and on both sides of your mailbox. This helps ensure that the bus driver can easily locate your home, especially during the first few weeks of school.

Please be sure to look at the bus routes carefully, as bus numbers, routes and bus stops may change from year to year. Do not assume that your child’s bus number or route will be the same as in previous years.
