On Monday, January 9th, all students were given student IDs with plastic sleeves and lanyards. All secondary students in Fort Bend ISD will be required to wear student identification and have IDs prominently displayed above their waist. Student identification is essential to recognizing who is always on our campus. We know this has been a big adjustment, so we made this as clear as possible and gave students a short transition period to develop the daily ritual of wearing IDs. We will need your help reminding your child to wear their IDs daily.

Students were given a window between January 9th and January 17th to start practicing wearing IDs daily without consequence. After that window closed, students were assigned a discipline in the absence of wearing IDs beginning January 18th.

Students were given three free temporary IDs issued as colored wristbands. After the 4th missing ID, a new ID badge is printed for $5. The 5th infraction will require parent contact, and students are assigned detention. Beyond the 5th infraction, additional disciplinary consequences will be added.

We know this process will take time and teamwork, but we believe this will significantly reduce unwanted visitors on campus and help safely identify our students.

We appreciate your support!

The class of 2023 celebrated the start of their final high school year with a Senior Sunrise. You can see more pics and everything about Travis on our THS Twitter page.

Keeping everyone safe. All visitors "MUST" check in at the front office before entering Travis High School. Failure to do so could result in including but not limited to: Being banned from THS until further notice, all FBISD events, and other lawful actions.

Help us celebrate our THS Hallway Drivers of the week!!!!!!! At Travis we have a great culture and we are building on it with always keeping the positive and upbeat energy. Thank you!!

Whether it be an email, phone call, or any other form of communication, let us know about all of the great things our staff members are doing. Your Travis faculty and staff do their best each day to support your student in academics, athletics, and social emotional wellness. So Dude be nice and jump on our Energy Bus!

Parents and guardians please read over the document below. This is the presentation that was went over with your student this week with the THS administration. It is a great information and a great way to see the expectations we have for all our TIGERS!

Parents and Guardians please take time and review the FBISD Student code of conduct with your student. There is helpful information in the document to help you and your Tiger to understand all of FBISD and THS policies including dress code.

Parents and guardians, please be advised of the FBISD student dress code. A copy is provided below.

Parents and Guardians please review the FBISD Integrity Pledge. This was shared with your students during Tiger Time last week. This is a review of FBISD policies about Academic Dishonesty.

Parents, please be advised that you should not drop off students using the student parking lot, and you should not park where you block other businesses during drop-off and pickup. You should not park on the side of the road either during drop-off and pickup. We want to continue to keep ALL our students safe and we have great neighbors.

To all parents, guardians, and all who may be dropping off and picking up students. For the safety of all our students, we ask that you abide by the rules when driving at all times. In particular, please do not drive on or block our Special Services Bus Ramp. It is the half-circle driveway located near Harlem Road in the rear of Travis High School. This is a dangerous violation as we have some students that will need assistance departing and boarding a bus. We have worked out a plan with our FBISD transportation. Please be aware that cones and barriers will be put in place in order to assist. They are not there for you to drive around, nor for you to live out your dream as a stunt driver. Thank you for your assistance with this and for keeping all our students safe.
