At Travis Intermediate, we set high standards for our students. Our focus is the whole child; promoting successful learners and problem solvers; while fostering appropriate socialization and acceptance.

All staff have shared responsibility to maintain a safe learning environment focused on meeting student needs, building relationships, and proactively teaching expectations.

I hope all our Travis Families have been enjoying their summer and are getting ready for the start of the 24-25 school year! I am so excited about this coming school year and to be your principal. We have been busy this summer preparing for the upcoming school year and can't wait to meet all our new and returning families. We are honored to serve this community and can't wait to start another great year with all of our students. Please know that my door is always open, and at Travis, we strive for open communication between home and school.

I hope you are able to join us for Meet the Teacher on Monday, August 12 from 5:00-6:30 p.m. It is a come and go event. Get everything you need from class schedules, backpacks, school supplies, car rider tags, get registered for bus transportation, join the Travis PTO, ask about volunteer opportunities, and meet your child's teacher(s). Please see the information below concerning completing verification of your student registration with your child's Snapcode before our Meet the Teacher event.

I am looking forward to partnering with you for an incredible year ahead!

Students caught vaping or in possession of a vape in Texas risk harsh punishments. This affects school aged students from age 10-17.

Some vape cartridges may contain the key ingredient in marijuana, THC, which is a felony in Texas. A new bill passed this year (effective 9/1/23) requires that students caught vaping, in possession of a vape or delivering marihuana or e-cigarettes be removed from class and placed in a “disciplinary alternative education program.”

Please speak with your child about the dangers of vapes and vaping and the potential consequences.
