Safety Crossings

The children are urged to cross streets at the main crossing areas where crossing guards are posted:

• School Street & Sharpe Road,
• School Street & Washington Street,
• Concord Avenue & Bright Road,
• Glenn & Gale Roads & Bright Road.

Throughout the school year, Sharpe Road is “one way.” On school days, cars should enter from Washington Street. Crossing guards are on duty between the hours of 7:30am-8:50am & 2:25pm-3:05pm.

Transportation

Belmont School Committee policy determines the extent to which pupils in Kindergarten through Grade Four are transported by bus. The Belmont Public Schools’ policy for providing busing will follow the State guidelines, and busing for other students will be available for a fee.

School Crossing Guards are provided by the Belmont Police Department to assist walkers in crossing some busy streets.

Pupils in special education programs are also transported if an out-of-district placement is required. Bus routes are published annually prior to the start of school in the local newspaper and are always available in the office of each elementary school and on this web site.

Transportation is provided at no charge for students who live 2 miles or more from school. Students residing under 2 miles in grades K-6 may purchase a bus pass subject to the availability of space and distance from school.

The METCO office handles the route and times for the Boston bus, which transports Boston students to and from all four Belmont elementary schools.
