Howdy, Tiger Families! Happy Mother's Day!!! 

Coming off of Teacher Appreciation Week, we just want to say how grateful we are for this incredible community, we truly felt the love! Your kind notes, thoughtful gestures, and support meant so much to our staff. Our teachers work hard every day to create meaningful learning experiences for our students, and it was so special to see them celebrated in such a big way. Thank you for helping make Cypress Springs a supportive and uplifting place for both students and staff!

• Drop-off: Parents, please support a safe drop-off by keeping students in their seats and seatbelts through the whole drop-off process until you have stopped. Also, just a reminder that we are a cell phone-free zone. Please remain off your cell phones during drop-off and pick-up. Thank you for helping to keep all of our students safe!

• Annual Verification for the 2026-27 school year is now open for all Dripping Springs ISD students. State law requires this process to be completed each year for all students; those who have previously been enrolled in DSISD and those who are new to our district and previously completed registration in the spring. 

  • • • Parents can begin the process by logging into Skyward Family Access. A reminder email with Family Access login information is sent prior to the verification window opening.

      • Enrollment Verification must be completed for class placement. 

• Join us for our Spring Cypress Sprinters: Every Friday at 7:15 am on the track. PK-1st needs to be accompanied by a parent or guardian (older siblings are not qualified as guardians) during Cypress Sprinters.

  • • • Parents can park in the side lot and walk through either side gate behind the building to join us on the track! 

• LMHP Newsletter:  Hello Tiger Families! Summer Break is quickly approaching, and while this season of fun and relaxation can provide some much-needed relief from the demands of the school-year, some children may struggle with the transition. See this newsletter created by our DSISD LMHP Team for some ways to support your child’s mental health and well-being this summer!  

• 26-27 5th Grade Students ONLY (current 4th-Grade students): 26/27 5th Grade Student Planners are available to purchase for next year! Please purchase these at your earliest convenience to be ready for the start of the year.

🐯 This week’s tip: Build Strong Listening Skills! 

Listening is an important part of learning. Encourage your child to practice active listening by making eye contact, asking questions, and responding to what others say. At home, you can model this by giving your full attention when your child is speaking. Strong listening skills support learning, relationships, and confidence.
