WINTHROP — Northeast Charter School Bus Services Inc. is pleased to be providing school bus transportation services to Winthrop Public Schools. The following information details the bus route schedule for the 2015-2016 school year.
*Bus routes are subject to change as needed. Please remember that bus times are approximate and all students must be ready and waiting at their stop 10 minutes before the scheduled time for their bus to arrive.
*To ensure the safety of all students, Northeast Charter School Bus Services Inc. requests all transportation schedules be established within the first two weeks of the school year. We request only long-term changes be made after Sept. 18, 2015.
*Please refrain from having guests ride the bus with your child; if a bus becomes overloaded you will be called and asked to pick up all children going to your house.
*In-town high school and middle school students need to be at the tennis courts by 7:05 a.m. for the shuttle bus.
*In-town grade school (Grades 1-5) students are walkers.
* Students riding a regular afternoon run may expect their run to be driven in the same route as the morning pick up to ensure fairness to all students in terms of “time in transit.” Winthrop Board of Education Policy: EEA
