The Guilderland Central School District runs an average of 90 buses each day—traveling more than 1.4 million miles a year (that’s to California and back every school day) to 75 different schools! Approximately 5,000 public school students, 400 private and parochial students and 120 special needs students ride Guilderland buses daily.


School Closings, Delays and Early Dismissals

School closings, delayed openings and early dismissals resulting from weather conditions or other situations will be posted as a news item on the homepage. Additionally, individuals may access school closing information via School News Notifier and various media outlets. Parents will also be notified of school closing and delays via the One Call Now telephone alert system. Please do not call the bus garage for information about school closings, since this ties up phone lines and can prevent receipt of important calls. Visit our closings and delays page for more info.


Stopfinder App for Families and Caregivers

The district utilizes Stopfinder, an all-in-one, easy-to-use mobile app which allows families and caregivers to view real time transportation information, including schedule, announcements and more. Secure and only for registered users, the Stopfinder app is fully integrated with GCSD routing software to provide accurate, real-time schedule information as quickly as possible. Learn more about the Stopfinder app.
