Register your child for transportation services!

2024-25 Bus Registration is now open. Click here to begin registration: https://forms.gle/4EvnJimQgcpMHzVp9

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Even if your child was registered to ride the bus during the 23/24 school year they MUST be registered each year to ride the bus.

  • Registering your child for school DOES NOT register them to ride the school bus. Bus registration is completely separate. Please register your child to ride the bus through the Gunter ISD Transportation link at the top of this page.

  • Your child will be routed by how you register them. If you only register them for the AM route to school, they will only be eligible to ride the AM route. Please make sure you register them for both routes if you need them to ride the bus to and from school.

  • If you ever need to update your child’s address, add them to an AM or PM route or any other route changes you MUST fill out a new bus registration form. If you have any questions please contact Nicole Mann at nmann@gunterisd.org or (903)696–1500.
