Travis Middle School - Weekly Update

Dear Parents and Guardians,

It has been a very busy short week as we move closer to the end of our first grading period. Please remember that this week and next week are the last chances for students to bring up their grades before report cards are finalized. These first nine weeks’ grades will be part of their overall yearly average, so we encourage students to finish strong. 

We are also excited to announce our upcoming Reward Day on Friday, October 10th! This will be a Fall Festival-themed celebration, and we are going all out to reward students who continue to grow and are meeting expectations in grades, attendance, and behavior. Several clubs will be sponsoring events and activities to raise funds.

Last Friday’s school dance was a huge success, with our largest turnout yet—over half of our student body attended! We are especially grateful to our parent volunteers and PTO for their support in making the event possible.
