2025-26 Transportation Registration
Registration for school bus services for the 2025-26 school year opens on Monday, April 7.
Our private bus service is provided by Queens Children Transportation, which has delivered exceptional service to Dwight for many years. Registration will be processed directly through the Queens Children Transportation; however, we are happy to assist with any questions.
All bus drivers for Queens Children Transportation are state-licensed, professional, experienced, and properly certified. Additionally, all Queens Children Transportation buses undergo Department of Transportation inspections and are equipped with seat belts that meet federal safety standards.
As an alternative to this paid service, eligible students may apply for the Department of Education (DOE) bus, which operates on limited routes (see instructions below).
The deadline to register for all listed bus services is Monday, June 9. Please read on for details and registration information for each option.
If you have any questions, please contact Alicia Thoresen, Transportation Coordinator.
