Press release from the Newton South High School PTSO: January 16, 2021 Dear NPS Family, "Our records indicate that your student has selected the hybrid model of learning, is eligible for bus transportation, and HAS NOT registered. If you want your student to take the bus, YOU MUST register by Sunday, January 17 at 11:59 p.m. Registration will close on Sunday, January 17 at 11:59 p.m. If you do not plan to utilize the bus, there is nothing further you need to do right now. If your student is not registered for the bus by Sunday, January 17 at 11:59 p.m., they will not receive a bus pass. Because of strict state guidelines for physical distancing in transportation, we will not be able to accommodate students who do not have a bus pass. You may register your student for the bus through the MySchoolBucks portal at: www.myschoolbucks.com. For instructions on bus registration, please visit this link. The NPS School Committee will vote on a prorated bus fee in the coming weeks and the cost will be invoiced to families following the vote. Financial assistance will be available and information will be included with the invoice. As you know, our bus capacity is severely limited given the reduced seating capacity. We are encouraging families to walk or bike to school if possible. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this issue." Sincerely, Transportation Department Newton Public Schools This press release was produced by the Newtown South High School Parent Teacher Student Organization.
