When the bus is delayed by 15 minutes or more, families will receive communication from the School notifying them of the delay. Families are always welcome to call the front desk (617-277-2456) to ask about the status of any of the routes.

If there is an emergency, families will be notified by the School's emergency broadcast system, which will contact families by phone, text and email.

If your child is in the Lower Division (Grades PreK - Grade 5), please let your child's teacher know which days your child will ride the school bus home. In addition, if your child attends the After School Program, please let Tracy Duliban (PreK-2) or Caitlin Robinson (Grades 3-5) know which days your child will be riding the bus. 

Students in Grades 6-8 are not required to notify their advisor about the transportation plans. 

At the beginning of the school year, the Division Heads meet with all of the students who ride on school provided transportation. At the meeting, students are introduced to their bus driver and there is a discussion of appropriate behavior on the bus. Students sign a behavior contract, and students are encouraged to talk to their Division Head if there is inappropriate behavior on the bus. 

The bus cannot wait for families in the morning. In the afternoon, parents will be contacted by a teacher if their child has missed the afternoon bus. 

If a parent or caregiver is not at the stop, the default procedure is for the child to remain on the bus for the remainder of the route and be driven back to Park. 

Due to capacity restrictions on the bus this year, it will not be possible to bring guests on the bus. 

Families will be billed for the annual transportation fee of $2,800 per student in the early fall through Smart Tuition.
