************************

If your child rode the bus during the 2023-24 school year, he/she is already confirmed for a spot on the bus during the 2024-25 school year. You DO NOT need to request busing for the 2024-25 school year.  The updated pickup/drop-off times will be posted on this webpage. If your child was a 3^rd grader last year, Harlow’s will contact you with the new UE/MS bus number as well. If your child rode the bus last year but will not ride the bus at all during the 2024-25 school year, let us know by completing the CHANGE REQUEST FORM to let us know busing is no longer needed. We will remove them from the list so that our route times are more accurate.

If your child is a current Dakota Valley student who has never ridden the bus before, and you would like your child to begin riding the bus during the 2024-25 school year, please complete the CHANGE REQUEST FORM to request busing services.

ALL INITIAL CHANGE REQUESTS MUST BE COMPLETED BY AUGUST 2 TO BE ACTIVE ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. ALL REQUESTS MADE AFTER AUGUST 2 CANNOT BE GUARANTEED ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. YOUR CHILD'S SAFETY IS OF UTMOST CONCERN, AND TIME IS NEEDED TO ENSURE ROUTES AND BUS LISTS ARE ACCURATE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING!
