Las solicitudes pueden retirarse si no se selecciona una escuela, pero no se considerarán si se presentan después de la fecha límite. La Junta Escolar ha establecido una política estricta de no considerar las solicitudes presentadas después de la fecha límite.
Se recomienda a los padres que estén considerando enviar a su hijo a una escuela privada el próximo año que presenten las solicitudes de transporte antes del miércoles 1 de abril de 2026 para que se incluyan en la solicitud de transporte del distrito para el próximo año.
If you have not yet confirmed your child’s acceptance at the school, you should still submit an application by the April 1st deadline in order to be approved for busing. If you are considering more than one school, you should submit a form for each school and then notify the transportation office of your final decision. A new application must be submitted for each school year.
To qualify for busing, you must have provided proof of residency to the Dobbs Ferry School District, and you must reside no more than 15 miles from the selected school.
