Grade five will leave from Harvard Elementary School after dismissal on both early-release and regular Wednesdays and return at 7:30 p.m.
The bus fee is $72. All students in the program must purchase a six-week ski badge for $93 or a bronze, silver or gold century pass for the stated amounts to be eligible to ride the bus.

Faculty, parents and siblings are eligible to purchase ski passes through this program. Registration forms are available at the Bromfield and elementary school offices and should be returned as soon as possible. The program is offered on a “first come, first served” basis. When the buses are full, no more applications can be accepted.
