Community Services

The Dripping Springs ISD Community Services Department offers life-long learning opportunities and services for families and the community. These opportunities reach beyond the traditional school day for the purpose of providing academic, recreation, health, social service and work preparation programs for people of all ages. There are enrichment classes for school-age students through the Kids College Program and a variety of summer camps. Classes, clinics and camps are available year round for middle and high school students. Adult education classes are held in the fall and spring through evening and weekend course offerings. Participants do not need to live in Dripping Springs to participate in our classes.

The following activities conducted on or in any district facility shall be coordinated through the District's Community Services Department: 

  • Private Instruction 

  • Camps

  • Classes

  • Clinics

Child Development Center

The CDC provides child care for children ages 6 weeks-3 years old for DSISD employees. Please contact CDC Director Rene Hooper for more information. 

School Closures

Any time Dripping Springs ISD is closed for inclement weather, all Community Services classes and activities (including after-school child care, evening adult classes, etc.) will be cancelled. Class sessions will be rescheduled if and when these closings occur.
