Registration
Des Moines Public School’s annual update through online registration is a mandatory process to ensure your student’s information and permissions are verified and updated for the upcoming school year.
The district’s expectation is that online registration be submitted no later than JULY 28th. This expectation supports our need to properly route eligible students for bus transportation. Students who register AFTER this date MAY NOT BE ROUTED UNTIL AFTER LABOR DAY.
