Where: LTHS Performing Arts Center

A MUST SEE movie for parents in the digital age!


Expert Panel immediately after the show:


· Dr. Jessica Buss, Ph.D. (clinical psychologist with an emphasis in Health Psychology)

· Chris Woehl, Executive Director of Technology, LTISD

· Dr. Breithaupt, OD, The Optometry Center for Vision Therapy

*also included: A School Resource Officer, a Lakeway parent, and a speech language pathologist


SCREENAGERS addresses the most pervasive parenting issue of our time head on—depicting teen struggles over social media, video games and internet addiction.

This is a great opportunity for all parents in our community to come and learn about managing our children in the digital age. We will have an expert panel for discussion after the movie which should be equally informative. This certainly is not an anti-screen event but rather more about everyone finding balance and positive ways to integrate technology into our lives.

Vision and Hearing Certification Class

Vision and Hearing Certification Class

Lake Travis ISD will be hosting a vision and hearing certification class for parents interested in obtaining this certification. The certification would enable you to volunteer at the school to help the school nurse with vision and hearing screenings.


There is no fee for this class. The class will be held at the Education Development Center on September 27 and September 28 from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm both days. The certification is good for five years and can be used to perform vision and hearing screenings at any school, preschool or day care in the state of Texas.


Please contact our school nurse Mrs. Hensel if you are interested.
Cupcake Friday -- September 29

Cupcake Friday -- September 29

We'll be celebrating students' August and September birthdays on Friday, September 29. Each classroom has a Cupcake Coordinator who helps us to determine which parents are dropping off cupcakes and healthy snacks the morning of September 29. If you are scheduled by the Cupcake Coordinator to bring cupcakes or snacks, please be certain to drop them off at the front desk no later than noon on the 29th. A LIST OF INGREDIENTS MUST BE ATTACHED to any homemade cupcakes/snacks that are to be delivered to a nut-free class. Nut-free classes are those of Brymer, Kearns, Ali, Johnson, Arbour, Kogler, Figueiredo, Gallenkamp, Crump, Arrivo, Delmark, and Sabochick.


The cupcakes and snacks are delivered by our "Cupcake Fairies" to the classrooms just prior to dismissal. Cupcake Fridays are noted on our school website calendar, and here is a handy list of them:
