Join Model United Nations
There will be a Model UN interest meeting Monday, August 27th in Mrs. Cain’s room, C118, from 2:50-3:45pm. Come see what it’s all about!
The goal of our daily Advisory is to help students figure out who they are, where they’re headed, and how they’re going to get there. Through an advisory system, each student has an adult on campus who knows them and helps them navigate high school so that they leave with a meaningful, personalized plan and are prepared for post-secondary options.
This week, we will be tackling the following topics during our Advisory period:
- Updating our profiles in Naviance (students will be using Naviance throughout their high school careers to stay connected and to apply for colleges, scholarships, etc.)
- Safety (Lockout) Drill
- Digital Citizenship
- Goal-Setting
- Grade review
Does your student need help logging on to Naviance?

- Go to the Travis Website – www.fortbendisd.com/ths
