We had a great first week back with Rebels! It's exciting to see students ready to learn, collaborate, and create great energy in the building.
Back to School! We are looking forward to seeing families Monday, August 26- for Back to School Night. Dinner will start at 5PM, and Principal Hodges will share updates with families in the cafeteria. Guardians will have a chance to walk the halls to meet teachers throughout the building.
Safety - want to continue working in partnership with parents to talk to your students about following procedures for safety. Ms. Hodges presented expectations and shared the student success guide during homeroom this week. The Austin ISD Student Success Guides can be found here. We are checking ID's for seniors leaving at lunch and expecting all other students to stay on campus during lunch. All students will have an ID by the end of this week. Everyone on campus including students, staff, and visitors are expected to wear an ID. We also launched a new student pick-up area in the front of the school. By the end of the week, the traffic was flowing smoothly and cleared out before 5pm. The traffic pattern is one new change related to construction on our campus and we appreciate your feedback and patience in the process!
Attendance- be sure to read the Attendance section in the newsletter below. While the district has provided flexibility over the last several years through the District of Innovation plan, we're doubling our efforts to help students stay on top of their coursework and earn their high school credits. Parents and guardians can now see if any credits are at-risk due to attendance indicated by an NC for "No credit" on each grading period report card. Make attendance a priority!
We ended the hot August week with popsicles in the front yard, thanks to our neighbors at Faith Presbyterian. We appreciate these partners in the community and them showing up for Travis Rebels!
Reminder: Friday is an A day.
Have a great week, Rebel Community!
