Dripping Springs ISD values strong communication with members of the Dripping Springs community, including parents and other district stakeholders. This priority was emphasized in the 2016-21 Strategic Plan, making up a major part of the "Village" Section.

Some methods used to strengthen and promote communication include:

•electronic newsletters
•community forums
•information shared with community groups
•discussion with committees
•small-group discussions
•notification system for families
•printed reports
•podcasts and videos
•special events highlighting the district and its schools
•social media
•DSISD website
•participation in community events like Leadership Dripping Springs
•partnerships with community organizations

In addition to coordinating many of these communication methods, the Communications Department serves as the point of contact for all media requests.
