The 2016-17 Parent Survey is now available online. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and let the district know how Travis Heights is doing. Our goal is to have 100% of parents complete the survey. If you prefer a paper copy, please see Daniela Licona, our Parent Support Specialist.

Computer and ESL teachers needed!
Our Parent Support Specialist is looking for volunteers to help with classes for parents. If you know anyone who might be interested in helping with these, please pass the info along and/or contact: Daniela Licona – daniela.licona@austinisd.org
- Basic computer class in Spanish- The program will last 2 months and it is held two times a week for 2 hours in the morning. The volunteer would take a course to learn how to teach this program.
- ESL classes- Teaching materials are provided. Volunteer does not have to be bilingual as the program is 100% in English. This course is around 2-3 months depending on how many hours it is taught each week.
Reminders:
- Box Tops are due this Friday 1/27!!
- PrimeTime starts next Monday, Jan 30th
