Social Media Free Days
Parents, consider setting social media free days for your child's phone. You can do this by designating certain days for your family to unplug from social media and screens.
Upcoming Assessments
From Mrs. Smith
Parents, please assist us by ensuring your child brings their SMART tag to school each day. It is one of our safety measures here at Travis. We use it not only for dismissal procedures but it is also used throughout the day.
Also, be sure to share with your child that cell phones and smartwatches must be stored in their backpack throughout the school day. It is a violation of the student code of conduct for students to be found in possession of their cell phone during the school day. If found the phone and/or smartwatch will be given to an administrator for the parent to collect and the appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken.
As always if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child and their education feel free to reach out to your child's teacher. They have first hand knowledge of how your child is performing in their classroom.
Have an amazing week!
Sincerely,
Charita Smith, Principal

Proclamation 2024 Instructional Materials Adoption
Conroe ISD is seeking community feedback for the Proclamation 2024 Instructional Materials Adoption through April 5, 2024. Community members may review materials online or they may request to view the materials in person at the Conroe ISD Textbook Warehouse. More information is located on the CISD Instructional Materials website.
Intermediate Schools Cell Phone/Smartwatch Policy
The Conroe ISD Board adopted new guidelines regarding student cell phone use during the October Board meeting. While it is not a substantial guideline change at the elementary level, there are changes in which parents need to be aware. Our Foundations team is working to ensure that these procedures are being implemented on our campus and that we are helping students adapt to these changes. The student handbook is currently being updated to reflect these changes. The new guidelines state the following:
Cell phones and smartwatches may be used respectfully and responsibly before school and after school.
Cell phones and smartwatches should not be used to capture video, audio, or images at school or on the bus.
Cell phones and smartwatches should be set on silent mode and kept in backpacks, lockers, or other designated storage areas and should not be visible during school hours including instructional time, reward time, free time, lunch, and in the hallways.
Use of cell phones and smartwatches may be permitted in extenuating circumstances with permission from a staff member. (ex. to notify parent/ guardian of a late bus)
Conroe ISD Community Collaborative

The Conroe ISD Leads: Community Collaborative is a new opportunity for members of the community to increase their knowledge of programs and processes implemented in the District. The program will take place from 8–11 AM on five half-days from February – May at various locations. The application closes at noon on Friday, February 9. Learn more and apply at https://www.conroeisd.net/about/community-collaborative/
YEARBOOK ON SALE NOW
Yearbooks for the 2023-2024 school year are on sale now for $20. Students received an order form on Friday, January 19th. If you need another one please contact the school.
Cell Phone Tip
Did you know that both iOS and Android devices provide built-in parental controls? These parental controls can be added to a specific phone or can be set-up to be controlled from a parent/guardian’s device. To find out more about how to set-up these parental controls, see the graphics below.
Vapes in Schools
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.
Automated Library Notifications
If you don’t have a PAC account, you will need to register for one to access the email settings. You can also view the item(s) your student checked out by logging in to Destiny Discover through your student's SSO account. You can further manage your student’s access to library materials by completing the Library Access Form found on the Library Services website along with viewing other helpful information.
Early Pickup Cutoff Time and Transportation Changes
Transportation Changes:
We don't take transportation changes by telephone. Transportation change requests need to be in writing. You may send a note to school with the child or you may email the change to the following email addresses listed below.

Safety is a Top Concern
Additionally our front office staff have camera access to see what is happening on the outside of the building while we are on the inside of the building. You will also see a CISD police officer patrolling the area and frequently conducting campus walkthroughs.
If you see a concern please don't hesitate to call our front office!
Things to Know
Dismissal Tags:
Please remind students to bring their dismissal tags to school daily and wear them around their neck during the school day (with the exception of PE and walk and talk). If a student loses their tag there is a $5 charge to print a new one.A Note about Buses:
Intermediate campuses are the third tier for bus dismissal. We come after the high school and elementary schools. Some buses will frequently dismiss at a later time. If you have questions about your child's bus don't hesitate to contact the school.
Dropping Off Items:
Please note, lunches left at home may not be dropped off at this time. If your child forgets their lunch, they will receive a meal provided by the cafeteria.
Car Rider Important Information
Car Rider Tags:
All car rider tags will only be given to a parent or guardian. That parent/guardian may ask for as many tags as necessary to pass out to other drivers picking up their child.
