LTISD Career Fair
Representatives from local health and emergency service organizations, including Lake Travis ISD trained nurses and police officers, will provide an opportunity for students in grades 7-12 to take Stop the Bleed training. This hands-on course will provide interested students with the opportunity to learn life-saving techniques including how to control bleeding, how to pack a wound, and how to correctly apply a tourniquet. All school districts are required to offer this training under House Bill 496 passed by the Texas Legislature in 2019.
The training will be offered on Monday, February 17, 2025 (10am-12pm) at the Lake Travis High School Annex cafeteria. Due to the length of the training, the opportunity is being provided on a non-school day.

Your Leadership and Counseling Team
While our campus leadership team works collaboratively with all students and teachers, the following information should help you reach the appropriate administrator or counselor for your child's grade level should a concern or question arise. We are committed to serving our students and appreciate the opportunity to work together with families to support our learners. Towards the start of the new school year, each counselor and Assistant Principal will be assigned new duties to individual grade levels, and we will share that information with families and students at that time. In the interim, please feel free to reach out to any member of our leadership team for assistance.
