Payments for the Fee-Based Busing Program are to be received (or postmarked) by

be subject to late fees, but will be guaranteed an assignment to a bus that serves your
residential area. The late bus fee for the 2015-16 school year is $235 per student with a
family cap of $470.
•
Payments received (or postmarked) after June 30, 2015 (after the grace period) will incur
a late fee; will be wait-listed and will not be guaranteed assignment to a bus for the first

your student will be offered an alternative bus at the next closest bus stop to his/her home;
and new bus stops will not be created to accommodate late applicants.
•
Incoming Kindergarten students for the 2015-16 school year will receive a mailing from

•
On-line payments may be made via a secure on-line payment center provided by UniBank.
A link is located on the Hopkinton Public Schools website (www.hopkinton.k12.ma.us)
under Transportation. Payments made directly from a checking account, or by credit/debit
card, are assessed a fee by Unibank. Only Discover and MasterCard are accepted by
Unibank. Visa cards are not accepted. To pay on-line, you will need your child’s five-digit
ID number. This number appears on all report cards and progress reports, and can be
found on IPass. If you cannot locate this number, it can be obtained by contacting your
child’s school. Your online payment serves as the transportation application for the
student(s) designated; you do not have to submit a paper application.
•
Payments made by mail should be made via check or money order made payable to
“Hopkinton Public Schools-Bus Fee”. Please do not send cash. Payments must be
accompanied by a completed 2015-16 School Bus Transportation Application and should
be sent to: Hopkinton Public Schools, Transportation, 89 Hayden Rowe Street, Hopkinton,
MA 01748.
•
Please note that installment payments are not allowed. The bus fee will not be prorated for

amounts are determined based on the schedule at the end of this document.
•
The School Committee continues to offer a Financial Assistance program which provides
full and partial waivers of most school fees including the bus fee. Details of this program
can be found on our website www.hopkinton.k12.ma.us, on the Homepage, under Site
Shortcuts, Financial Assistance. This confidential financial assistance waiver form is easy
to complete and should be sent along with your 2015-2016 School Bus Transportation
Application. The deadline for completed Financial Assistance application is also

Bus passes will be mailed to your place of residence during the last week of August. All
students will be required to present their bus pass to the bus driver beginning with the first
day of school. Please note: No bus passes will be available for pick-up at the
Transportation Office during the summer months through September 11, 2015, as
staff must follow a process of determining bus space availability before a pass can
be printed.
•
The two (2) mile limit for determining the bus fee for grades K-6 is determined using a
Geographic Information System (GIS) provided by the Massachusetts Highway
Department. These distances are based on the distance from your home address to your
child’s school. Distances from childcare locations are not relevant. If you have any
questions about distances, please contact us.
•
Bus switching is not allowed on a day-to-day basis for Grades K-5.
•
Bus stop switching is allowed for grades K-5 on a student’s assigned bus by sending a
Note from Home to your student’s school on the day the bus stop switch is to be made.
(see Bus Stop Switching Procedures-Elementary Schools on the HPS Transportation
webpage)
•
Bus switching is allowed for grades 6-12 on afternoon (PM) buses for students with a
valid bus pass. Morning (AM) bus switching is NOT permitted. Students who are
switching buses must wait for all students with passes for that number bus to board first
then may board if there are seats available. A valid bus pass must be shown to bus
switch. Bus switching is not allowed on early release days. Bus switching will start on
Monday, September 21, 2015, the third full week of school.
•
Valid bus passes may be swapped permanently for a Senior or Junior parking spot
