District Cell Phone Committee

Conroe ISD is kicking off a District Cell Phone Committee to evaluate the districts current guidelines and recommendation by the School Health Advisory Mental Health Subcommittee. A survey has been created to allow all families to engage in this process and to help guide the committee as they work to evaluate district guidelines. This survey will close Friday, September 15th.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZKLRV96

Conroe ISD has also created a website (https://www.conroeisd.net/school-cell-phone-committee/) to keep everyone updated throughout the process. You will find on that website agendas, presentations, and any other information shared with the committee.

5th graders will have vision and hearing screenings Tuesday-Friday. Please be sure to send your child to school with their glasses.

Safety continues to be a top priority for our campus. We currently conduct frequent perimeter checks, door checks, and ensure visitors to our campus are scanned through our RAPTOR screening process. Additionally our front office staff have camera access to see what is happening on the outside of the building while we are on the inside of the building. You will also see a CISD police officer patrolling the area and frequently conducting campus walkthroughs.

If you see a concern please don't hesitate to call our front office!

Dismissal Tags:

Please remind students to bring their dismissal tags to school daily and wear them around their neck during the school day (with the exception of PE and walk and talk). If a student loses their tag there is a $5 charge to print a new one.

A Note about Buses:

Intermediate campuses are the third tier for bus dismissal. We come after the high school and elementary schools. Some buses will frequently dismiss at a later time. If you have questions about your child's bus don't hesitate to contact the school.

Dropping Off Items:

Please note, lunches left at home may not be dropped off at this time. If your child forgets their lunch, they will receive a meal provided by the cafeteria.

Travis Cell Phone and Electronic Device Policy:

As stated in the district Elementary & Intermediate Student Handbook, students are allowed to have some electronic devices on campus (for example: cellphones).

At Travis cell phones and any other electronic device (smart watches, etc.) must remain turned off while on campus and in the student's backpack. If students do not comply with this policy, staff members may confiscate the cell phone or electronic device and turn them in to the assistant principal. A parent/guardian will need to come to the school to pick up any cell phones or electronic devices that has been confiscated, as it will not be returned to the student once taken up.

Travis Intermediate is a school located in Conroe ISD. We are a Title 1 campus with 96% economically disadvantaged students. At Travis Intermediate, we set high standards for our students. Our focus is the whole child; promoting successful learners and problem solvers, while fostering appropriate socialization and acceptance.

We created this list to ask our wonderful community to help us fill our PBIS Store and help build our game room. When students follow expectations, we want to reward them through our campus wide PBIS Program. Please consider purchasing one or more items to help us fill our store. Also please consider sharing our list with others.

Morning Drop Off/Car Rider: Our morning drop off and afternoon car rider pick up will be on Pauline St. through our school cafeteria. Staff members will be on duty to receive students from 7:30 a.m. until 8:50 a.m. when instruction begins. If your child arrives to campus after 8:50 a.m., parents will need to park and bring their child in to the front office to check in. If students are car riders in the afternoon, we ask that they are picked up no later than 4:10 p.m.

Our dress code addendum will be sent home with all students this week. The following is a summary of the highlights of how our Travis Timberwolves "Dress for Success":

• Tennis shoes are required for PE and for walk and talk daily. Wheeled shoes, house shoes, slides, flip flops and crocs should not be worn because they pose a safety threat.
• Pants with holes or rips must be worn with tights or shorts long enough to cover the students thighs.
• Pants should be worn at waist level, not sagging.
• Shorts, skirts, and dresses should be fingertip length. When arms are straight down along a student's side, material should be long enough to touch the tips of the fingers.
• Clothing that may refer to or advertise tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, narcotics or any other prohibited substance or displays vulgar/inappropriate language, obscenities, or graphics/pictures of any kind that are inappropriate for the school setting are not allowed.
