St. Bernard Plans Busing for Shoreline Towns

St. Bernard School has announced that bus transportation will be available, starting in the fall, for students in much of the Westerly/Stonington/Groton area.

The route will begin in Preston, proceed down Route 2, and then Route 1 South with seven stops throughout the North Stonington, Pawcatuck, Stonington, Mystic, Groton and Quaker Hill areas.

The bus schedule will include a morning and late afternoon run, which allows the students to arrive at the school at 7:30 a.m., and leave school at 5:15pm. 

Transportation will be provided by M&J Bus Company.  The cost for the 2012-2013 school year, for bus transportation to and from the school is $1,000 per student.

Anyone with questions should contact Ann Nettleton in the business office.

The decision to re-establish busing to these shoreline communities, the school said in a press released, was based on the results of a feasibility study conducted in the spring of 2011. "Additional transportation routes will be considered given student interest and sufficient ridership," the school said.
