Principal's Note
Dear Parents,

I am so excited for Monday to arrive! The Cavalier Nation has been even better than advertised with the welcome I've received. Many of you are actively involved in a variety of parent groups at Lake Travis High School, and I want to thank you for your involvement--as well as encourage you to invite your friends to join you!

A few parent specific items for this week.... If your student drives to school, please encourage him/her to leave a few minutes earlier than usual the first week of school. We have enrolled almost 200 more students than last year, and traffic is always a little heavier than usual the first week of school. Also, as a reminder, we only accept food deliveries from parents, no outside restaurant deliveries. If possible, please try to coordinate with your student which office is closest for them to pick up their lunch during passing period or on the way to lunch.

The student and parent handbook for LTHS is posted on the Lake Travis High School page. It is a nice reference guide for all things related to attendance, dress code, grading, and general practices related to LTHS. http://www.ltisdschools.org/Page/29526 If you have specific questions related to the handbook, please contact your student's assistant principal or counselor.

If your student did not attend Round-Up or receive their textbooks, they can pick up textbooks before or after school in the main bookroom by the cafeteria.

Thanks for your support. I'm looking forward to a great first week!
 
Go Cavs!
 
Gordon Butler, Principal
Book Room Help Needed

Volunteers are needed to help distribute textbooks to the students the first few weeks of school.  After checking in at the MAIN Building front office, volunteers should report to the book room near the cafeteria. 

Optional training on Friday, August 19th, at 3:15pm to learn the process and help your volunteer time go more smoothly.

From Your PTO
LTHS PTO's mission is to enrich the education of each student on our campus. We do this by investing our ideas, time, and money into Student and Teacher related programs that we believe foster a positive and fun learning environment. We work in close collaboration with our principal to identify and prioritize needs and to spend donations in the same year as they are contributed
 
In 2015-16 the PTO budgeted over $51,000 toward our Student and Teacher programs. While supporting and adding to our annual programs for students and teachers, we were able to allocate $20,500 toward NEW wish list items!
 
Your financial support makes our ongoing programs for students and staff and the Wish List possible. The LTHS PTO relies on two major sources of funding:  sponsorships / ad sales for the LTISD Student Directory and the LTHS PTO No Hassle Fundraiser (NHF) campaign.
 
We call the NHF campaign "No Hassle" because we don't ask you or your student to buy or sell anything, just to make a one-time donation. We depend on donations from our families early in the school year, so we may plan our wish list spending by late October. The more we receive, the more we can spend. Please consider donating to our No Hassle Fundraiser and join us as we continue enriching the education of each student on our campus.

You can make your 2016-17 No Hassle Fundraiser donation and/or purchase a directory by visiting our website lthspto.org anytime. Or, you can complete and print this form.  
It's that time of year again -
Time to order your copy of the
2016-17 LTISD Student Directory!
 
Don't Miss Out!!
Have all the information you need for the school year!

The directory is printed and bound and contains student contact information as well as information for each LTISD school and all district offices.  With all the growth and change in our district,  you will definitely want at least one for your family. Proceeds from sales fund our PTO programs here at LTHS. Help our school AND help yourself ... It's a WIN-WIN. 

Click HERE to print the order form.  You can bring or send the complete form and payment to the main or annex office.

Please make checks payable to LTHS PTO.
 
Please contact directory@lthspto.org with any questions.

Another way to support LTHS PTO...
Lake Travis students, family and friends!  Help support your LTHS PTO by shopping on Amazon. YES, you read that right!  Search/google Amazon Smile, then login like normal.  A crazy number of purchases are eligible for donation to your AmazonSmile charity.  

Go to https://smile.amazon.com.  At 'Pick your own charitable organization', type:   
Lake Travis High School Parent Teacher Organization

Hit Search, then Select.    
Remember going forward to always use the Amazon Smile site instead of regular Amazon site when you shop.  Everything else is the same... Except that now you are helping the LTHS PTO better serve all our students.  You Shop, and Lake Travis High School wins!!  How awesome is that?!?
