Dear Seniors and Parents/Guardians,
Senior year is here, and for students planning to attend college, there are many important steps coming up! The DHS Counseling, College & Career Center invites college-bound seniors and their parents/guardians to our College & Financial Aid Info Night on Tuesday, September 22 from 6:00–7:30 PM in the High School Cafeteria.
During the first half of the evening, we will discuss the college application process, including applications, transcripts, letters of recommendation, EOP/HEOP, scholarships, and more.
The second half of the evening will focus on paying for college, including the FAFSA, StudentAid.gov accounts, New York State grants and scholarships, student and parent loans, and other important financial aid information.
Whether this is your family's first time navigating the college process or you have been through it before, we hope you will join us. There will also be time for questions.

Welcome back, Wildcat Families! We're excited to jump into the 2026-2027 school year.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we would like to inform families that fall bus schedules will be available through the My Ride K-12 app.
With the exception of Kindergarten students, the Transportation Department will no longer be mailing bus schedule postcards prior to the start of school. All transportation information, including your child’s bus assignment and schedule, can be accessed through the My Ride K-12 app. Schedules will be available on the My Ride K-12 starting Monday, August 24, 2026.
Information and instructions for downloading and setting up the My Ride K-12 app can be found on the District website under the Transportation page.
If you have any questions or need assistance signing up for or accessing the app, please contact the Transportation Department at transportation@depewschools.org.
Thank you for your cooperation as we transition to this convenient and efficient way of providing transportation information. We look forward to welcoming back our Wildcat students in September!
