INSIDE DSISD

Dripping Springs ISD’s annual online verification process for all students begins Monday, April 21 at 3:00 p.m. According to state law, this process must 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.

Family Access logins are used to begin this process. Parents will receive a reminder email with their Family Access login information before the online verification window opens. If you do not have a login or cannot remember your password, please follow the directions in the reminder email.

Please complete online verification for each child in your family as soon as possible; this process should be completed by Thursday, May 22. During the verification process, parents will complete back-to-school forms. This process takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.

If you have problems with the online process, please contact your child’s campus and ask for the Skyward Family Access contact/Student Records Specialist. Computers are available at campuses for those who do not have one available at home.
