Back to School 2024

WELCOME BACK!

In preparation for the 2024-25 school year, Dripping Springs ISD campuses schedule back-to-school activities to orient students to their schools and schedules, provide information to parents, and establish important home-school connections. A reminder that the first day of school is Tuesday, August 13! 

Please note an important change to Meet the Teacher events at the elementary school level from previous years. Due to the significant construction at Dripping Springs Elementary, Meet the Teacher has been moved to Monday, August 12 during the day for all elementary school campuses. This change gave our facilities teams, teachers, and other staff members a few more valuable days to wrap up construction and prepare Dripping Springs Elementary for the new year. It is a DSISD standard that all Meet the Teacher events occur around the same date and time districtwide.
