Bus Request Forms for 2024-25
Students requesting new bus transportation for the 24-25 school year must complete the 2024-25 Transportation Request Form.
Completed forms were due by July 8th to be guaranteed service for the first day of school. Requests received after July 8, 2024 may not be routed for the first day of school. Transportation for late forms will be implemented in the order in which they were received by the Transportation Office beginning September 3, 2024. After September 3, 2024 and during the school year, it may take up to 5 school days to establish transportation.
Forms must be turned into the Oakview front office in person or by email to kdawson@greenville.k12.sc.us if bus transportation is needed for the 24-25 school year.

Any child who will be six years old on or before September 1 of the current year must enroll in first grade. Students who are currently enrolled in a GCS 4K or 5K program do not need to register.
