Tarvin Times

Oct. 29, 2021

Trailblazers,


We had such a great turnout for Trunk or Treat last night. It was great to see our community together and the kids having so much fun. Thank you, PTA, trunk decorators, and candy donators for making it a great success!


Just a reminder that November 2nd is a student holiday. We do have school on Monday, November 1st.


Together in Learning,

Christy Hilbun

Lost and Found

We are already collecting lost jackets and sweaters. Please write your child's name inside the jacket so we can get it to the right owner. If your child is missing something, the lost and found rack is in the cafeteria. Tell them to check it out.

Breakfast and Lunch Menus

Leander ISD school menus, along with complete nutrition information, are available through Nutrislice

We would love to have you volunteer your time and educate our students about your career/job. Every job is important! You can participate in our Career Day live via a 15-minute zoom presentation, or pre-record a 10-minute video, whichever works for you! If you are interested, please contact us and we will give you all the details! Please help give our students a glimpse of all of the wonderful career options out there for them! We look forward to hearing from you, just fill out the form below and I will be in contact! You may forward this information to other community members as well if you know someone who might be interested in participating. Thank you for your support!
