Bus Routes
Bus Routes are published on the Plymouth Public School's website. Click here to view the Nathaniel Morton Bus Routes. Our drivers ask that students are outside about 5 minutes prior to the assigned time, but please be patient as it takes a week or so for our drivers to familiarize themselves with the routes and bus stops.
If your student(s) are riding the school bus this year, please make sure you have submitted a Bus Application. Thank you!
School Hours
Dismissal begins at 3:20 pm.
Beginning at 3:20, walkers are dismissed from the side door (closest to the playground). We ask that adults picking up stand alongside the fence and give their name to the staff member. Please bring an ID with you until the Walker Pickup Staff is familiar with you. Thank you!
Beginning at 3:20, bus students are dismissed from the main entrance of the school. We load 3-4 buses at a time. **There is NO parking on the school-side of Lincoln Street during dismissal time, as we need to have room for our bus dismissal! We have 3 waves of buses. Our last bus typically departs NMES by 3:40 pm.
Dismissal Notes
Dismissal Notes
Thank you for your help in reducing the high volume of phone calls pertaining to alternate dismissal plans. For the safety of your child, we ask that you put any dismissal changes in writing - either written note or email. HELPFUL TIP: If you are emailing, please send it to your child's teacher as well as our School Secretary, Robyn Monska rmonska@plymouth.k12.ma.us as well as our Front Desk Receptionists Meredith Cosseboom mcosseboom@plymouth.k12.ma.us, and Kelly Baler kbaler@plymouth.k12.ma.us. We ask that whenever possible, families notify the school of any dismissal changes before 2:00 pm. And if you are dismissing your child early from school, please do so by 2:45 pm.
Thank you!
Connect with your child's teacher!
Your child's teacher will be reaching out to you in the next few days to introduce themselves and gather information about your child's dismissal plan. Please be on the lookout for an email, and please communicate your child's dismissal plan (bus, walker, YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, etc.) Thank you!
