2024-2025 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.
