Construction crews are making great progress on the 18+ Program Facility on Sawyer Ranch Road, next to the Sycamore Springs campuses! This week, the DSISD Board of Trustees toured the facility to see the progress firsthand. Approved by voters as part of the 2023 Bond, the project continues to take shape. Window installation is complete, roofing is nearing completion, and crews are currently installing HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems. The project is projected to be completed in late December.

National School Bus Safety Week is recognized each October to highlight one shared priority: keeping students safe on and around school buses. Safety is a shared responsibility! Here’s how you can help keep our students safe:
Parents: Talk to your kids about bus safety! Remind them to stand 3 giant steps back from the curb, make eye contact with the driver before crossing, and never walk behind a school bus.
Drivers: Slow down near bus stops and on neighborhood roads. Remember: yellow flashing lights mean prepare to stop, and red flashing lights with an extended stop arm mean STOP - it's the law.
We had a fantastic Education Day with the Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Dripping Springs class on Tuesday!

Thank you for spending the day with us and allowing us to share an inside look at some of what makes DSISD exceptional!
