Picture Day is Tomorrow!
Every student will have their picture taken and will receive a package of pictures. If you like what you see, keep them and send the money back (you don’t have to buy the whole package). If you don’t want them, return them to the office. Please note: there are no retakes for Spring pictures!
THIS Friday is Neon Day!!
Students are encouraged to wear NEON colored clothing or accessories. Get ready to glow!

Ever Wonder Who Cares for These Beauties???
We do! Family volunteers are needed to show our ladies some love by checking in on weekends and holidays. If we can find an additional 3-4 families to be trained on chicken care then the commitment will only be one weekend every 4-6 weeks. For more information contact volunteers@travisheightselementary.com
It’s Time to Register!
Online registration for next school year is now open! Our goal is to have 75% of students registered by the end of March. Completing registration early is important as it impacts the amount of funding and staffing we receive. Classrooms who have all students registered by March 30th will receive a special prize! Register at https://my.austinisd.org
