Newton Public Schools 2012 Bus Schedules and Routes

Newton Public Schools will be back in session starting Tuesday, Sept. 4 -- how will your kids be getting to school?

If the Newton Public Schools' bus routes are the transportation option for your family, make sure to check out the bus schedules in the .pdf section to the right. 

Editor's note: Individual bus route schedules are included for all schools except Horace Mann, Lincoln-Eliot and Ward schools, as those schools do not have buses. All students in those elementary school districts are deemed walking distance.

Bus pass applications are available online and the annual $310 bus fee ($620 family cap) is also payable online. 

If your children plan to walk to school, make sure you check out a list of crossing guards who will be stationed at various places in the city. You can also seek out the Safe Routes to School coordinator in your school to find out more about walking or biking to school. 

Public transportation through the MBTA bus system is also an option for Newton students. More information on rates and student bus passes is available on the district's website.

Lastly, if you plan to drop off or pick up your child from school in your own car, make sure you read up on the city's "Blue Zone" policy.
