Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow

One in 10 students is chronically absent. This means that a student misses 18 days or more over the course of the school year, which puts them at significant risk of falling behind in school. In Bastrop ISD, we are asking every parent to partner with us to ensure that children are in school each and every day. We are also working with community partners such as local businesses, pastors, the Chamber of Commerce and more to help reinforce how important it is to show up on time and be ready to learn.


Please take 6 minutes and watch this video with your child about the importance of being in school every day. Together, we can create a culture of attendance in Bastrop ISD!

Social Emotional Learning

Social Emotional Learning

In recognition of October as Bullying Prevention Month, students in grades K-8 will begin SEL lessons that empower students to Recognize, Report, and Refuse bullying. Pre-K students will begin lessons that help develop the skill of empathy. Grades 9-12 will work on 'To Be' lists and learn about factors that positively impact mental health. Families looking to engage their students around these topics can ask questions such as:


- What are you learning during SEL time this week?

- What are some ways you can recognize bullying?

- What are some things that support mental health?
