A:  Out of an abundance of caution for the health of camp participants and instructors, DrippingSprings ISD is suspending all summer camps. This includes Camp Venture, Kinder Camp, Peek at Pre-K Camp, and all sports/enrichment camps that are scheduled during the months of July and August. The DSHS Athletics strength and conditioning camp will continue through July 16 as planned, with safety protocols in place.

A. DSISD plans to offer both in-person and remote learning opportunities for students that are rigorous and robust. Remote learning will look different than it did in the spring. Remote Learning "2.0" will include structured schedules, daily engagement expectations, direct instruction by teachers, and aligned content. District expectations for in-person and remote learning will be aligned. A detailed plan is expected to be announced in mid-July.

A: For any member of the DSISD community whose employment/ financial situation has changed as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, applications for the Free and Reduced Lunch program are available. Currently DSISD is providing weekly breakfasts and lunches for qualifying students each Monday.

A:  Yes, students or parents could email the Technology Help Desk at tech.help@dsisdtx.us.

A. We recognize that some of our families have access to technology (devices and internet access), while others may not. The district issued more than 800 Chromebooks to families based on responses to a survey indicating need. In addition, some hotspots have been issued and several more are on order and will be provided to students when they arrive.

A. Kids Club services are suspended for the same health and safety reasons that have cosed our campuses. For each full week that DSISD schools are closed and Kids Club services are not provided, parents will not be billed. From March 23 forward, reimbursement will be issued for any overpayments made. Pre-K tuition costs also are suspended during closure, and parents will not be billed. From March 23 forward, reimbursement will be issued for any overpayments made. 

A: Yes, the district is providing meals for qualifying students. The Child Nutrition Department has shifted from daily distribution of meals to weekly distribution (Mondays) to provide five breakfasts and lunches at one time.
