Bus registration for the 2023-2024 school year is now open.
Signup deadline is on Wednesday, June 14, 2023 at 4:00 pm
Millis Public Schools will be utilizing two online Google forms to process registrations similar to the previous school year; one form for students attending the Clyde Brown School, and one form for students attending the Middle-High School.
The state requires school districts to provide transportation to and from school only for those students in grades K-6 who live more than 2.0 miles from school. Transportation is not mandated for any students in grades 7-12. Millis will be using the state requirements for 2023-2024. For those students who are not eligible for free transportation, Millis provides a Fee Based Busing Program. The fees charged cover only a portion (less than 30%) of the actual cost of busing with the school district and town providing additional funds.
Important Information Regarding Fees
Transportation rates have increased for the first time in over a decade. Please review the new rates before making your payment.

Late Sign Up And Waitlist Process
All seats will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Registrations received after July 14, 2023 will not be guaranteed a seat on the bus. Buses do fill up, so please be proactive.
Confirmation emails will be sent on August 22, 2023 informing families if their student(s) has secured a seat on the bus or has been put on the waitlist.
Bus assignments (bus number, bus stop location and time of pickup/dropoff) will be sent out via email no later than one week prior to the start of school. It takes our transportation director months to create bus routes. As students sign up, routes change. Therefore we must wait until the week prior to the start of school to post bus assignments.
Bus registrations received after July 14, 2023 will not be given a bus assignment until approximately two weeks after the start of the school year.
