Middle schools to move to hybrid schedule in Dripping Springs ISD

DRIPPING SPRINGS — Middle school students within Dripping Springs ISD will undergo a different type of class schedule this fall.

Currently, the middle schools follow the high school in using a block schedule with 90-minute periods, where the students attend four longer classes on “A days” and then, the remaining four classes on “B days.”

However, now, beginning in the 2026-27 school year, those students will be transitioning to a hybrid schedule. They will have three days of a traditional 48-minute class schedule, seeing all of their teachers for eight periods three days a week and then, on the other days, they will revert back to the block schedule for four periods per day with advisory.
