BPS Families:
If you have already registered for busing, thank you. Preliminary bus assignments are available in our new transportation parent portal: if you see a bus number and suggested bus stop, we have received your registration request and there is a seat available for your student(s) on a bus. We will send reminders to those who have not yet paid or submitted a waiver request, if applicable.
Routes
We have reviewed the initial bus routes that were posted earlier this summer. We have made adjustments to be able to accommodate all the students who have registered so far. Those revised bus routes are available on our website. (Please note that the times listed for each stop are approximate and may change.) There is some remaining capacity for any families who have not registered their students for busing. If interested, please register by Thursday, August 22nd. If we are able to accommodate you on the bus that serves your neighborhood, we will assign your student a bus route. When buses are full you will see this noted on the posted bus route. If you register for busing when the bus that services your neighborhood is full, you will be placed on a waitlist in case another student withdraws their registration.
Any registration requests made after August 22nd may not be assigned a bus until after September 9th (if space is available).

How to Register and How to Pay
Registrations can continue to be made through MySchoolBucks. Payments can be made via check made out to Belmont Public Schools sent to the Business Office (Busing), 644 Pleasant St. Belmont, MA 02478. Fee waiver forms should be mailed to the same address as payments.
Bus Passes
Bus passes will be issued for students in grades 4-12. Passes will be distributed by the second week of school. Drivers have been instructed not to check for passes until that time.
Passes are not issued for students in grades K-3. Student lists will be provided to each school’s Main Office to coordinate busing dismissal.
