Upcoming Events

Due to the impending snow storm this afternoon, Newton Transportation has arranged a bus route schedule for today only for the High schools.
This includes an early dismissal of 1:30pm from North only for the Boston students. This will help in getting all the Boston students home before the roads are at their worst.
As with early release days our Boston METCO high school buses have crowding issues, as a result Eastern Bus will be providing a third bus for the high school Boston kids.
