Inside DSISD Newsletter

School attendance matters! Every day spent in the classroom is an opportunity for growth, learning, and connection.

As we begin Attendance Awareness Month, we want to remind our families that regular school attendance is one of the strongest predictors of student success. Being at school helps students achieve greater academic achievement, build responsibility and strong time-management habits, strengthen social skills, and develop friendships.

Help our Tigers stay on track! Please follow the district calendar when planning family vacations and appointments so our students can make the most of every day at school.

Did You Know?

Missing just two days of school each month can add up to approximately 120 hours of missed instruction over the course of a school year — the equivalent of missing about a full month of instruction!

The application window for Dripping Springs ISD’s 2026-27 Community Advisory Committees closes Friday, September 4.

The success of Dripping Springs ISD is dependent on its partnership and effective engagement between district administration and the community, including parents, taxpayers, businesses, and others.

Stakeholders provide valuable insight, expertise, and feedback to the District through DSISD’s Community Advisory Committees. They also strengthen the ties between the district, its campuses, and the community, and enhance the core educational process.

Community members may apply for as many committees as they like; however, participants are limited to serving on one district committee per year.

• Bond Advisory Committee Application

• Campus Advisory Committee Application
