If your child will need transportation to an alternate location such as a child care provider or if you will be providing transportation for your child, you will need to complete and submit a Transportation Change Request Form annually. If the change is due to a change of address, you will also need to submit a Change of Address Packet which can be found under demographic forms on our Registration & Residency page.
In order for requests to be granted for the beginning of the new school year, please submit forms by July 1st. Requests submitted at a later date may face delays in processing up until two weeks after the start of the new school year. Requests made during the school year make take up to two weeks to process. As noted above, requests for alternate transportation must be submitted annually. Please print and email the Transportation Change Request Form to transportation@berlinschools.org, fax it to 860-829-0832, or drop off/mail the form to the Berlin Board of Education, 238 Kensington Road, Berlin, CT 06037. You will be contacted once a decision is made regarding your request.
Requests for alternate stops for child care will only be granted if they fall within the daily bus routes of the student's school district; new stops will not be created. Requests must be permanent in nature. Please keep in mind that A.M. stops must be from one location only and P.M. stops must be to one location only. Split stops will not be considered (for example, three days to child care and two days to home).
Please see the Transportation Concerns and Complaints section if you would like to request a change due to a safety issue.
