Fourteen Dripping Springs High School swimmers qualified for the Region VII-6A Championship after their performances at the District 26-6A Meet on Friday, Jan. 27 at the Round Rock ISD Aquatic Center.
District officials have been assessing the impact of the storm on our campuses and area. We have at least two campuses without power, widespread network outages, significant debris at several campuses, and many areas of the district that are not passable for buses or vehicles to safely transport kids to school. We know that many of our families have also lost power and water, and are facing significant clean up on their own properties.
Dripping Springs High School qualified a school-record 47 students for the state DECA competition after a successful district contest on Saturday, Jan. 28 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock.
Given that temperatures across the Hill Country and Austin metro area are not expected to rise above freezing until later tomorrow morning, we have made the decision to cancel school for Thursday, February 2. We will, however, resume after-school activities and meetings Thursday afternoon in anticipation of the rising temperatures.
All DSISD classes and activities are canceled for tomorrow, Wednesday, February 1, due to inclement weather and icy road conditions. We are continuing to monitor the situation closely and district officials will make a decision about Thursday’s schedule by 4:00 p.m. tomorrow.
