Senior Trip Tickets
Senior Trip Tickets will be on sale during all lunches next week – February 24th-28th (In E138 - Mrs. Martinez Office).
This is the ONLY week that we will sell these tickets as we must have an accurate count for our charter buses. Bus rosters will be filled as students purchase their tickets so seniors should plan on purchasing at the same time/day as their friends if they wish to be on the same bus. Cost of the senior trip is included in the senior package or you can buy separately for $120 which includes admission to the park, bus ride, lunch, and shirt. The PDF attached contains 3 forms that must be completed to purchase a ticket.
Students who are participating in the Senior Package have already paid for their ticket, but must be current on all payments and must turn in the 3 forms to reserve their bus spot.
The final payment of the Senior Package is due March 6th. Printed forms are available in Mrs. Martinez' (E138) office if needed. All details, trip information, and rules regarding the trip are located in the attached information.
or indicate whether they need fewer than the allotted 8 tickets, by filling out an online form located on our THS homepage.

National English Honor Society
The Travis High School chapter of the National English Honor Society is now accepting applications for the 2020-2021 school year. Sophomores and juniors who have exemplified academic excellence in English language and literature, who have demonstrated exemplary character, and who wish to promote literacy while sharing their love of reading and writing may apply. Interested sophomores and juniors, please pick up an application before or after class from Mrs. Kimbrough in room E130.
Lending Laptop Library
Travis High School now has a lending laptop library. These laptops are available for students to check out and take home. Our goal is to help all THS students have access to the technology they need to be successful. As teachers increase the amount of learning done online, students often need consistent access to a computer outside of school. Students may now request a laptop through the THS library in order to complete school work off campus. Laptops are available at no cost for two weeks at a time. Parents must first complete the agreement forms in Skyward and then students may fill out the request form found on the THS library website. For more information, please visit the library page of the THS website. https://www.fortbendisd.com/Page/121681
