Principal's Message:Hello Parents, Students and Community Members of Travis Early College High School,
I would like to thank everyone again who attended Back to School Night last week. It was a great pleasure to speak to our student’s families and I look forward to working with you toward another great school year. We began Breakfast in the Classroom last week. We’d like to thank Ms. Kathy Richey and our entire cafeteria staff for a great job delivering breakfast quickly and efficiently to all of our students. Students were able to go straight to their first block class at 8:45 and receive their breakfast. Breakfast will not be available in the cafeteria. We have our first Campus Advisory Council (CAC), this Tuesday, September 12, at 5 pm in the library. Our CAC is a decision making group made up of parents, staff, students and community members. As we make decisions for the year, for the future and the bond, we invite all interested in helping shape Travis Early College High School to attend. All students should have received their laptops. Students who have not receive their laptop still have the opportunity to check one out. There is a brochure and permission form to sign in order to get your free laptop. Please go to www.austinisd.org and search for the everyone to 1 document. Students will also need their ID. ID pictures will be taken all week in the ISS room before school and during lunch. Please feel free to call or come on by to the campus with any questions. Ty J. Davidson After School Pick Up

Travis ECHS Vertical Team - Staff Development/Student Holidays
Austin ISD is designated as a Texas Education Agency District of Innovation (DOI), which allows AISD schools to adjust their schedules and calendars to meet the needs of the school community. AISD was recently granted District of Innovation Status from TEA, which allows campuses one option of requesting changes to the school calendar to increase teacher staff development and planning time during the school year. We submitted our plan to become a DOI Vertical Team and were approved to begin this plan for the 2017-2018 School Year.
We will be adding four additional Professional Development Days to the 2017-2018 School Calendar for the Travis ECHS Vertical Team Schools.
These dates are:
Friday, September 29
Monday, December 18
Tuesday, December 19
Wednesday, January 3
Students will not attend school on the above dates.
The cafeteria will be open on these days.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided for students.
Staff must still report to campus for professional development.
Please contact your student's campus for more information.
