Welcome Back!
Hello, Wonderful Travis Heights Community! Our theme this year is “Thunderbirds Moving To The Beat Of Their Own Drum!” We have had a week long of professional development, team building opportunities, and welcomed new faculty and staff to our campus. Teachers have been hard at work preparing their classrooms and working together to provide an amazing learning experience for our Thunderbirds.
It was great to see so many Thunderbirds at our Ice Cream Social/Meet The Teacher event. We are four days into the new school year, and Thunderbirds are excited for the new start of the year. If you are new to the Travis Heights Community community, welcome! We can't wait to get to know you this year. To our returning students and families, we are so excited to see you again and hear all about your summer adventures. We are going to have an amazing school year!
As I'm sure you've seen, there are staffing shortages for schools all over and the challenge is real. We have worked hard this summer to ensure we have outstanding individuals leading our classrooms, and I am so looking forward to the good work that we'll do together this year!
We are looking forward to an outstanding year! Our dedicated teachers have been hard at work, even over the summer, thinking about new and exciting lessons for their students and our new essential area schedule. Not only will our students benefit from more frequent physical activity but will actually receive even more art and music instruction than they have in previous years!
