Where to get Bristol school calendar PDFs and district event dates

The official Open School Year Calendars page is the best place to find printable district school-year calendars. The page lists the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 calendars, with both marked as revised on 2/4/26.

Families usually check this page for the first day of school, holidays, parent conference days, early release dates, vacation breaks, teacher workdays, snow make-up planning, graduation season, and the last day of school. The district also posts event information through its calendar and school-level pages.

A superintendent update noted that revisions to the 2025-26 calendar parent conference dates were approved at a June Board of Education meeting. That is the exact reason you should not rely only on old printed calendars. Use the official current PDF before scheduling childcare, travel, medical appointments, sports, and work coverage.

Bristol BOE central office address, phone, fax and email

The official Central Office page lists Bristol Public Schools, 129 Church Street, Bristol, CT 06010, with phone 860-584-7000 and fax 860-584-7611. The Contact Us page lists Bristol Board of Education at P.O. Box 450, 129 Church Street, Bristol, CT 06010, with the same phone and fax, plus email BOEAdmin@bristolk12.org.

The central office is useful for district routing, Board of Education contact, superintendent office questions, department questions, school building committees, driving directions, and official district resources. For one student’s attendance, pickup, daily schedule, classroom concern, teacher communication, or campus event, the student’s school office is usually faster.

Bristol Board members, chair, vice chair and board contact page

The official Open Board Member Contacts page lists current Bristol Board of Education contacts. It lists Shelby Pons as Chair, Maria Simmons as Vice-Chair, and Jill Fitzsimons-Bula as Secretary. It also lists board contacts including Lorianne Osenkowski, Kristen Giantonio, Barbara Tedesco, Kara Ledger, and Board Liaison Peter Kelley.

Board member names, roles, liaison assignments, and email addresses can change. Use the official contact page before emailing a board member, citing a name in an article, preparing public comments, or publishing a contact list.

How to check Bristol BOE meetings, agendas and BoardBook items

The City of Bristol Board of Education page says Board of Education meetings are generally held at 7:00 p.m. on the first Wednesday of the month, with some exceptions. It lists the meeting location as the Board of Education Auditorium, 129 Church Street, Bristol, CT.

The practical source for agendas, minutes, and meeting files is the Open BoardBook Meetings portal. BoardBook lists Board of Education meetings, special meetings, Finance & Operations Committee meetings, Policy Committee meetings, School, Family & Community Partnership Committee meetings, Student Achievement Committee meetings, agendas, minutes, projector files, Zoom links, passwords, and recorded meeting links when available.

BoardBook entries show that many meetings are held at the BOE Auditorium or BOE Room 36 at 129 Church Street, Bristol, CT 06010, with Zoom meeting access also listed for many entries. Because meeting type, room, agenda, public access, and recording links can vary, you should check BoardBook close to the meeting date.

Where to find Bristol BOE minutes, recordings and YouTube archives

The official Open BOE Meeting Minutes page states that Bristol Board of Education meeting recordings can now be found on the Bristol Public Schools YouTube channel. BoardBook entries may also include recorded meeting URLs, agenda links, minutes links, and projector links.

If you are trying to verify what happened at a board meeting, use the agenda, minutes, and recording together. Agendas show what was scheduled. Minutes show official actions after approval. Recordings can help with discussion context, but they should not replace the approved minutes when you need official action history.

Central Registration, kindergarten, Pre-K and grades 1-8 enrollment

The official Open Central Registration page is the main starting point for Bristol Public Schools registration. It includes resources for Pre-K application, Pre-K registration, kindergarten registration, grades 1-8 student registration, and registration-related health documents.

For grades 1-8 student registration, district pages say school assignment and transportation are based on address and direct families to school listing and bus route resources through VersaTrans eLink. The registration page also says families with questions or documentation concerns may contact the Central Registration Office Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at 860-584-7033.

Pre-K information is handled differently. The Central Registration page says Edgewood Pre-Kindergarten Academy may contact families after a completed application and lists Edgewood Pre-K Academy at 345 Mix Street, Bristol, CT 06010, with phone 860-584-7828. Do not complete Pre-K registration until Edgewood Pre-K contacts you if the page instructs that for the current process.

Documents and medical clearance families should prepare

Bristol registration pages explain that medical clearance must be obtained prior to the first day of in-person school. They direct families to upload medical information to the online registration form or submit it to the Bristol-Burlington Health District through the listed school health contact route.

The registration page lists required medical documents such as a current physical, immunization record, and dental form. It also lists registration documents that may include proof of residency, student identification, medical records, school records, and other documents depending on grade level and family situation.

Do not guess on registration documents. Missing medical clearance, residency proof, immunization records, dental forms, or school records can delay a student’s start. Use the current official registration page before uploading files or visiting an office.

Bristol bus routes, eligibility, bus stops and pickup/drop-off windows

The official Open Transportation Page says transportation to Bristol Public Schools is provided by the First Student bus company located at 256 Terryville Road, Bristol, CT 06010. It says Bristol Public Schools provides transportation under state law and regulation for students who qualify.

The page says eligible K-12 students are automatically assigned to neighborhood bus stops, and families do not need to request or deny that service. It also explains that transportation questions for Pre-K students should go through Edgewood Pre-Kindergarten Center.

Bus eligibility is based on maximum walking distances. The page lists up to one mile for elementary students, up to one mile for K-8 school students, up to one and one-half miles for middle school students, and up to two miles for high school students. It also explains that the lack of sidewalks does not automatically qualify a student for transportation.

The transportation page says there is a ten-minute window before and after a student’s given pickup or drop-off time. Students should be visible to the driver and waiting at the bus stop during that window. For Pre-K, kindergarten, and special education buses, the page says an adult is required at the bus stop at all times.

PowerSchool, ParentSquare, Lunch Payments and portal links

The official Open Portal Links page lists important parent and student resources. These include PowerSchool Student and Parent Portal, Lunch Payments through MySchoolBucks, Naviance links by school, central registration, BBGC before and after school program, bus route information, school indicator by street, non-discrimination policy, school options, school parent student handbooks, school time schedule, school year calendars, and student data privacy.

Use the district portal page before searching for login links on your own. If a page asks for a student login, parent login, payment details, lunch account information, or private student data, confirm that the link came from Bristol Public Schools or your student’s official school site.

Lunch menus, lunch applications, breakfast menus and nutrition links

Bristol Public Schools navigation includes Food Services resources such as district information, breakfast menus, lunch menus, lunch applications, and nutrition initiatives. Families may also use MySchoolBucks for lunch payments through the Portal Links page.

Menus and payment systems can change during the school year. Use official Bristol Public Schools food service links before submitting lunch applications, checking allergy or nutrition information, or making payments. If your student has a medical meal need, allergy concern, or payment issue, contact the school or official food service resources.

Bristol Public Schools directory and campus pages

The Bristol Public Schools website links to district school and program pages, including Bristol Central High School, Bristol Eastern High School, Bristol Preparatory Academy, Chippens Hill Middle School, Edgewood Pre-K Academy, Ellen P. Hubbell School, Greene-Hills School, Ivy Drive School, Mountain View School, Northeast Middle School, South Side School, Stafford School, West Bristol School, Bristol Arts and Innovation Magnet School, and Adult Education.

Use district pages for Board meetings, school-year calendars, registration, transportation, and policy resources. Use the individual school page for local contact information, principal messages, announcements, bell schedules, handbooks, athletics, PTO/PTA events, class updates, open house details, and school-specific forms.

Superintendent contact and weekly district updates

The official Superintendent Contact Information page lists Iris White as Superintendent of Schools, Bristol Public Schools, 129 Church Street, Bristol, CT 06010, with office phone 860-584-7004 and email IrisWhite@bristolk12.org.

The Superintendent’s Weekly Update Archive is useful for district reminders, school-year preparation, calendar changes, closures, budget updates, parent notices, and districtwide announcements. Because these updates are time-sensitive, use them as current guidance only when the date matches the current school year or announcement period.

What Bristol BOE information is free and what may require payment

Most basic Bristol Board of Education information should be free to view. You should not pay a third-party site to see the school-year calendar, central office address, main phone number, Board of Education meeting schedule, BoardBook agendas, minutes, board member contact page, registration instructions, transportation rules, bus route information, or school directory links.

Some official services may involve payment, third-party processing, lunch payments, transcript processing, activity fees, athletics, field trips, Pre-K tuition, after-school programs, or optional school activities. Before paying, verify that the payment link is official and connected to Bristol Public Schools or the student’s official school.
