2021-22 Bus Information for Hosmer Elementary School and the Middle School
School bus transportation is available to the Hosmer School and the Middle School from shared pickup points throughout Watertown. All students must register for the bus each year, even if the student rode the bus in a prior year.
Bus ridership determination is based solely on walking distance (as determined by the business office) to the school that the child attends. Please note that other criteria apply: transportation is not available to students who live less than 0.75 miles' walking distance from their school, or to out-of-neighborhood students (email or call for details).
All registrations received by June 15th will be processed by the WPS Business Office in early July to determine the walking distance. Registrations that are received after June 15th will only be considered if space allows. Depending on the number of registrations we receive, we may have a waitlist for seats even if the registration is submitted by June 15th. Bus routes and scheduled pickup times will be determined based on actual ridership.
