Busing: 

Students in half-day Kindergarten who live greater than 2.0 miles from Lincoln School are eligible for busing from Franklin, Wilson and Washington Schools. Subscription busing is available on a first come, first served basis through the Transportation Department. Students may also qualify for transportation as part of their Individualized Education Program (IEP). All Northside buses drop off and pick up on Westfield Avenue. 

The Northside busing schedules are available here (slides 10, 11, 12). Please note, times are approximate.

Change of Transportation Plan: 

Please notify your child's Kindergarten teacher, Wrap teacher, Ms. Davey, and Ms. Linder via e-mail of any change to transportation on the morning of the change. 

Morning Valet Line: 

Beginning at 8:55 AM, half-day Kindergarten families may use the valet line. Enter the parking lot by the Lincoln Playground and drop off at the nonplayground door.  A staff member will be present to greet students and supervise them as they enter the building. 

Walking: 

Crossing guards are typically assigned to the corners of Westfield Avenue and Washington Street, Westfield Avenue and Everson Place, and Westfield Avenue and Grove Street. 

For everyone’s safety, the parking lot will remain closed during arrival and dismissal.
