Thank you Lake Travis Education Foundation!!!!
A ceremonial BIG CHECK was presented to West Cypress Hills Elementary by the Lake Travis Education Foundation.
Our BIG CHECK will be used to support Tiger learning throughout the 2021-2022 school year.
Thank you for making a difference in the lives of our Tigers by donating to the Lake Travis Education Foundation. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
New format for COVID letters
You may have noticed that there is a new format to the campus-wide COVID notification letter.
To streamline the reporting process across campuses, campus letters are being sent out via Skyward. Campus letters will come from the email address: skyward@ltisdschools.org
Within the heading of the email you will see the email is being sent from Dolma Diaz and right below you will see: Regarding: (your child's name). Because the email is being generated from Skyward, the campus-wide email will include your child's name. This does not mean that your child tested positive for COVID or that we believe your child tested positive for COVID.
Classroom letters will continue to be sent out and will be in the same format.
Please do not hesitate to reach out, if you have any questions.
Tigers Invited to Celebrate "Planks-giving" November 1 - November 30
Celebrate Happy "Planks-giving" with us!
Coaches Mirizzi and Clements invite all Tigers to give PLANKS and THANKS November 1 through November 30. Obtain your Planks-giving calendar here and print it so that your Tiger(s) can write on his/her/their calendar something or someone he/she is thankful for each day that your Tiger(s) complete that day's workout during the month of November.
Tigers are invited to return their completed Planks-giving calendars on December 1.
Happy Planks-giving!

Our Clinic Needs Clothes for Tigers!
Sometimes our Tigers are studying so hard that they find themselves in need of a change of undies and/or pants/shorts/warmups to finish out their day of learning. Nurse Chapman is prepared for emergencies--including those that require a change of clothes.
Nurse Chapman reports that she is running really low on new and gently used undies and shorts/pants/warmups in sizes smaller than size 8. If you have undies and/or bottoms in sizes 5T to size 7 that you'd like to donate to help restock Nurse Chapman's cupboard, please feel free to drop them off on any school day.
Thanks!

Update on LTISD Thanksgiving Feast 2021
Dear Lake Travis Parents and Guardians,
Due to current supply shortages, we are unable to acquire the food needed to prepare our annual Thanksgiving Feast for our students as we have done in previous years. We hope to resume this tradition next year as conditions impacting food supply and delivery begin to improve.
On behalf of the LTISD Food and Nutrition Services family, we appreciate your understanding and wish you a safe and relaxing Thanksgiving!
Sincerely,
Ryan Mikolaycik
Director, Food and Nutrition Services
