Bee Cave Beehive

What a great first day with our in-person students! It was fun to see so many people at school. The Kinders did such a great job meeting their teachers this morning and going to class...they were ready for school!

Everyone did such a great job wearing their masks, keeping their hands sanitized/washed and practicing a safe distance. It is very evident that these new in school procedures were practiced before coming back to school ... thank you parents!

Dismissal is one of the busiest parts of the day and requires your help for the systems to run smoothly. Please read the dismissal information below. I know that many, if not all of you, have filled out the google form [sent to you from your child's teacher] with information on how your child would get home the first week. Please know that filling out the google form from the teacher in conjunction with the Smart Tag default information is crucial to ensure that your kiddos get home safely every day.

Thank you for your continued flexibility and support...we appreciate you!

Stay well,

Principal Kellner

Dear Lake Travis ISD Parents and Guardians,

Bus routes for the 2020-2021 school year are available in Transfinder, an independent web-based boundary and routing system. Please note, some routes and pick-up and drop-off times have been adjusted from the previous school year.

Also, did you know that you can receive alerts regarding arrival times, delays and other updates regarding our transportation services? To do so, be sure to create an account in our SMART tag Parent Portal.

If your child will be riding the bus this school year and you have yet to enroll in transportation services, you may request services by selecting the ‘Transportation Update Form’ in Skyward Family Access. Additionally, if your contact information is not updated in Skyward Family Access, our Transportation Department will not be able to correctly identify your child’s bus route. Be sure to visit the Transportation Department web page for additional resources.

We look forward to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for students who will be riding our school buses this year.

Sincerely,

Rhonda Davis
Director of Transportation

Self-screening Protocols for Staff and Students

★ Staff will be required to complete a self-screening process, including performing a temperature check, prior to entering any LTISD facility, and the district may require further screening of employees at any time based on current state and federal guidelines.

★ Any employee experiencing any of these symptoms or who had close contact with an individual who is lab-confirmed with COVID-19 must stay home and contact his/her supervisor and Human Resource Services immediately regarding the absence and appropriate next steps.

★ A parent or guardian will be required to screen children for COVID-19 symptoms each day prior to sending them to school. Parents are asked to take their child’s temperature daily. Additional screening may be conducted during the school day as warranted.

★ Any parent dropping off or picking up their child from a school office must also self-screen for symptoms prior to entering any LTISD facility.

★ Parents must ensure they do not send a child to school on campus if the child has COVID-19 symptoms (as listed in this document), is lab-confirmed with COVID-19, or has had close contact with an individual who is lab-confirmed with COVID-19, and instead must participate in remote instruction as student’s health allows until the conditions for re-entry are met.

★ Teachers will monitor students and refer them to the nurse if symptoms are present.
