2025-2026 Busing Registration Now Open!
Dickinson Public Schools (DPS) offers optional bus transportation for our families who live within the Dickinson Public School District. DPS holds a service contract with Harlow's Bus Service. Last year, we transported 1,350 students daily via eight rural routes, 21 in-town routes, and three SPED routes. Additionally, two shuttle buses are available to take high school students to the Southwest Area CTE Academy for daily classes.
Deadline to register for 2025-2026 busing on the first day of school:
- In town – August 6, 2025
- Rural – July 30, 2025
- Registration after the dates above will result in a delayed start for busing services.
During the 2025-2026 school year, DPS will no longer use bus badges. Route information will be sent to you by email and/or text prior to the start date.
