Drop off/Pick up/Student Parking
Parents,
At Travis High, the only item that supersedes instruction is safety. As a staff, weβve gone through great lengths to keep our campus safe, and this includes instituting rules and guidelines that govern the student and staff parking lots. We ask that parents only pick- up and drop-off their students in the designated front circle area. We want to reserve the student parking area for student drivers only. Parents, we would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation in helping to keep Travis a safe place for our wonderful students. Have a positive and productive day.
