No School-Presidents' Day
Important Message from Attendance:
As mandated by the TEA, school districts are required to manually account for every student enrolled in their district during the last week of the first and fourth six-weeks. This process is to occur on a specific day during the significant period. Fort Bend ISD has designated Monday, February 10, 2020 for student reconciliation. Every teacher/substitute will be required to participate in this process. Please carefully follow the instructions listed below.
Attached is your teacher attendance worksheet for Travis High School’s significant period, which will be 3rd period. At significant period, review your attendance worksheet and do the following:
- Mark through a student’s name if they have never attended your class this year; indicate “No-Show” by the student’s name.
- Handwrite the names of students that are present in your class but are not listed on your attendance worksheet.
- Please be diligent in verifying the student data.
- Count the total number of students by grade level and enter them on the label provided on your first page.
- Sign and date the attendance worksheet(s) using blue or black ink only.
- Return the completed attendance worksheet to the Attendance office by 10:30 a.m. on 2/10/20.
- Please do not confuse this process with whether the student is present or absent on 2/10/20; but rather that the student is enrolled in your class.
If you indicated changes on your attendance worksheet, those changes will be made in Skyward. A new attendance worksheet will be provided for you to verify and sign again. This process will continue until the attendance worksheet is accurate and void of manual corrections. Campus office staff will reconcile the attendance worksheets with Skyward to determine that no-show students are not actively enrolled in Skyward.
Thank you for your attention to this important task.

Letters of Recommendation
Thank you for working hard to complete the letter of recommendations for the students in a timely manner (5-10 business days) as I have noticed many are already complete!! Please note – several of these requests have been made months ago – if you are unable to write the letter please communicate that with the students as we don’t want that to cause issue with them being accepted.
Please remember, when you log on to:
· Click Sign in at the top and pick Schools & District Staff
· Sign in with CLEVER
· Type in WILLIAM B. TRAVIS (be sure to pick the FBISD one)
· Click Log in with LDAP
· Your username and password is your skyward credentials. Please make sure you open it in chrome!
If you have already taken care of these, yet your name is still on here, please let me know so I can help clear your name from this end J If you need any help, please don’t hesitate to ask, I am happy to do so!
Please remember: If your student is applying to any school with a CA in the computer screen next to it, you will need to fill out the Common App Teacher evaluation. If you need assistance with this, please let me know. The letter will not send without filling this out as well – it’s short and easy! (This year, I believe it actually prompts you which is an added bonus)
Please finish it off by clicking the send button next to prepare – click the schools and then click send…otherwise they are sitting in “In Progress”
