Dear SOMSD Families,
With the return of in-person instruction scheduled to begin on Tuesday, January 19, 2021, the district wants to remind you that if your student(s) is eligible for transportation to their school you must submit a Transportation Request Form to the Transportation Department by Tuesday, January 12, 2021.
If the Transportation Request Form is not submitted to the Transportation Department by January 12, 2021, the district cannot guarantee transportation will be available for your student on Tuesday, January 19th.
Please submit the completed application via the options listed below:
- Email: Fill out and sign the transportation request form and scan or take a photo on your phone and email to: Tammy Talmadge, ttalmadg@nullsomsd.k12.nj.us
- Fax: Fill out and sign the transportation request form and fax to SOMSD business office: 973-378-9310
- Mail: South Orange & Maplewood School District | 25 W. Parker Avenue, Maplewood, NJ 07040
If you do not receive a 2020-2021 bus pass by Tuesday, January 19, 2021, do not place your student on the bus your child would be assigned to. The bus drivers are instructed to verify that students have bus passes for the current school year. Until you receive a 2020-2021 bus pass you will have to transport your student to school.n
