Wellesley Public Schools

WPS is planning for transportation services for the upcoming 2020-21 school year. In accordance with State regulations and School Committee policy, free transportation will be provided for students in Kindergarten through Grade 6 residing more than 2 miles from your school. We will continue to offer fee-based transportation services to all other students (that is, students who live less than two miles from school or students in grades 7 through 12). The fee will be $521 per student, with a family cap of $1,142. In other words, when there are more than two children in a family participating in the fee-based transportation program, the fee for the third child is $100 and any additional child thereafter is free. The deadline for online registration with payment in full is April 17, 2020.

On February 25th, the School Committee voted to approve two future elementary redistricting maps to correspond with a building project at either the Hardy or Upham sites. These maps will now be included in the ongoing assessment of both sites by the School Building Committee as it prepares a recommended building project in partnership with the Massachusetts School Building Authority.

The earliest redistricting would occur is in the fall of 2024.
