Dear Parents:

Belmont Hill School has made arrangements with Bedford Charter Services of Bedford, MA to provide bus transportation for students from various areas in and around the greater Boston area.

These areas include:

  • Boston/Cambridge
  • Chelsea/Everett/Malden/Medford
  • Dover/Natick/ So. Wellesley
  • Newton
  • Roslindale/Brookline
  • Wellesley/Weston
  • Westwood/Needham

If you are interested in bus transportation to Belmont Hill for your son next year, this letter and the Bus Reservation Form contain important information. 

Boys who are taking the bus will need to be dropped off in the morning and picked up in the evening at any one of the stops.

Bus service is available on a school year-long basis only . You may select either one-way (either riding in the morning or the afternoon, not a combination of both) or round-trip travel, but we will need a full-year commitment . We arrange bus transportation as a service to our students and families, and the costs of transportation are borne by those using the service. For the coming year, those costs are: $3,100 round trip or $2,100 one-way.

To reserve a seat for your son, please complete the online form indicating which route and stop you are interested in. Completed forms and a $500 deposit (mailed attn: Business Office, Belmont Hill School, 350 Prospect Street, Belmont, MA 02478), must be received by June 30, 2020. 

As you consider your transportation options, please note that there will be a limited number of parking stickers available to students next year. Accordingly, not every boy who wishes to drive to school will be able to do so . Priority will be given to all seniors and those juniors that have their driver’s license by the first day of school. Please note that if you are considering a carpool driven by an older student, state law requires that new drivers must have had their driver’s license for six months before they are permitted to carry non-family members as passengers.
   
If, after reviewing these materials you have further questions, please feel free to contact the Business Office at (617) 993-5361.

Sincerely,

Jay A. Bounty
