The Lake Travis Independent School District (LTISD) will lend Chromebooks and WiFi hotspots to students in grades K-12 who have limited or no access to a device at home and do not already have a device from our initial deployment this past spring.

Families who meet the above criteria may request a Chromebook and/or WiFi hotspot via Skyward by selecting the "Technology Request Form" in the student's profile. We ask that you complete one (1) form per child for whom a device is needed.

LTISD staff will deliver devices to the student's home address as indicated in the "Student Profile" in Skyward between August 10 - 14 and August 17 - 18.

On August 14, our West Cypress teachers will send emails to our Tiger families introducing themselves and providing helpful information about class schedules, expectations, and our remote learning platform, Schoology. The August 14 email will also include an invitation to meet individually with the teacher on the 17th or 18th of August. These personal meetings of introduction should last approximately 15 minutes.

Your family's private, 15-minute meeting on the 17th or 18th offers you, your family, and the teacher an opportunity to become acquainted. It is also the time to share with the teacher important information regarding your child, such as, how your child learns best, the subjects in which your child feels most confident, and areas where your child may need more support.

Our Tigers are the Stars of this first teacher meeting! It is a meeting to be all about them. We realize that you will, also, want to know about our curriculum, and we are scheduling a separate date and time in the near future, to talk about curriculum-related topics.

We strive to build relationships, and this year is no exception.

Thus, our Tigers will have one homeroom teacher in one classroom. Their homeroom teacher will be providing their English/Language Arts, Reading, Science, Social Studies, and Math instruction. Our teachers are collaborating and sharing knowledge and expertise to ensure that our Tigers receive the highest quality instruction.

The packet contains important documents and information which need to be acknowledged, reviewed and/or updated for each child.

Students can be re-enrolled for in-person learning after having been withdrawn as students of the LTISD. The re-enrollment process is the same as the enrollment process for any new LTISD student. The re-enrolled student will, initially, be scheduled for in-person learning at the school building.

Once the re-enrolled student is attending school in person, remote learning, if desired, may be selected when the district next extends an invitation to select a preferred learning option.

If you purchased your WCHE student school supplies online from Schoolkidz before the June 12 deadline, your supply kits will be delivered to West Cypress Hills Elementary before the first day of school. Students learning from home may pick up their supply kits on September 2. Students who will be attending school in person on campus will find their Schoolkidz supply kits in their homeroom classroom on their first day of in-person learning, September 8.

Should a decision be made prior to September 2 to extend remote learning past September 7, our families will be duly notified. In that event, ALL families may pick up their Schoolkidz supply kits on September 2.

If you missed the June 12 deadline, Schoolkidz.com offers a build-a-kit service where you can order school supplies for delivery to your home. Click this link to build your own school supply kit using our school supply lists (see the link below.)

Our grade level supply lists are available here for WCHE 2020-2021 so that you can purchase the supplies on your own from any source convenient to you.

*3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Students also need to have student planners for the 2020-2021 school year. These are sold separately from the prepackaged supply kits. Planners cost $6 each. We are able to accept cash (exact amount) or checks payable to WCHE. Planners can be purchased at the school on September 2 or from the front desk any time on or after the first day of in-school learning.

In order to keep our Tigers sheltered safely at home, all of our spring field trips planned for March through May were canceled. Some of our first and fourth graders' families had already paid for their field trips and may, therefore, be concerned about the funds turned in to teachers before we realized that the field trips could not take place.

Please rest assured that we have deposited your payments, have recorded your payments, and have a record of the resulting credit balance of each family.

And, we have plans to ensure that you receive full credit for your payment(s.)

• For students returning to West Cypress Hills Elementary School for the 2020-2021 school year, the credit balance due your family for West Cypress Hills' canceled field trips will be applied toward the purchase price of West Cypress Hills classroom t-shirts and/or field trips that take place during the 2020-2021 school year.
• For students who are not attending West Cypress Hills Elementary School during the 2020-2021 school year, a refund check will be issued to your family by West Cypress Hills Elementary School by the end of the school year. Please complete the WCHE Field Trip Refund Request Form to request your reimbursement check.
