Happy Wednesday Thunderbirds!
The Book Fair is in full swing! We hope to see you this Thursday for Family Night until 6:30—books, snow cones, and lots of fun. Proceeds from the Book Fair and Kona Ice sales help Ms. Underwood buy new books for the library!
Upper-Grade Assembly (2nd-5th Grade)
Friday, April 5th
Please drop your child off in the gym by 7:35. Parents are always welcome and encouraged to join us for assembly – it’s a lot of fun! You’ll hear the Thunderband rally the children with THES spirit and grade level competitions for the Spirit Award. Assemblies also include birthday acknowledgment and student awards for ROCKin’ behavior (Responsible, Organized, Considerate/Kind, Knowledgable) as well as various performances/presentations. Fridays are our day to show school spirit by wearing a school shirt or Thunderbird colors (red & white).
STAAR Testing
April 9th – 11th
Due to STAAR testing for 4th & 5th grades, visitors will not be allowed on campus Tuesday, April 9th through Thursday, April 11th in order to create a quiet testing environment. This means you will not be able to eat lunch with your child on Wednesday, April 10th. Please do not call 4th & 5th-grade classrooms directly; you may send a Dojo message, email your child’s teacher, or relay your message to the office to be delivered when testing is completed. We appreciate your cooperation and support!
General PTA Meeting + Kinder & 1st Grade Performance
April 18th, THES GYM
This is our most important meeting of the year. All are welcome! We will be voting on next year’s budget and electing officers. The meeting begins at 6pm. Interested in joining the PTA board for next year? Contact Gretchen Otto, ptapresident@travisheightselementary.com
After the meeting, we will enjoy a very “POSITIVE” performance by our Kindergarteners and 1st Graders. Please drop your children off by 5:45. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. King, brittany.king@austinaisd.org.
NO SCHOOL!
