Dear Lake Travis ISD Staff and Parents/Guardians,

Due to a number of safety and operational concerns surrounding the total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, Lake Travis ISD has made the decision to close schools for all students and staff. Because we have reserved a sufficient number of instructional minutes for the current school year, students will not be required to make up this day.

According to NASA, at approximately 1:36 p.m. on April 8, Central Texas will experience a total solar eclipse. As a result, local officials and first responders anticipate a significant influx of visitors for this extraordinary event, straining local infrastructure and resources and potentially impacting school operations. The decision to close our schools reflects a commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of students and staff during this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

We acknowledge that a solar eclipse of this magnitude is a unique educational opportunity which is creating much anticipation and excitement across our district. While our schools will be closed on April 8, rear assured our students will engage in classroom activities leading up to the event. It is our sincere hope that staff, students, and families across Lake Travis ISD will safely witness this celestial phenomenon and create lasting memories together.

Sincerely,

Paul Norton

Superintendent of Schools

Have a super interesting career?

If so, we hope you are willing to be a guest speaker for WCHE's Career Day on Thursday, May 9! We would be honored for you to share your expertise and excitement about your career with our students! By introducing our Tigers to a broad range of career possibilities, we hope to ignite new interests as they consider their future careers.

We are looking for parents or community members who would be willing to speak to classes of students about their jobs, when they first knew that they wanted to pursue this career, what was required to get them in that position (education,) how their job relates to their interests now, the most rewarding part of their job, and the most difficult part of their job. They will also have an opportunity to "show and tell" with props, photos, video clips, or demonstrations. Finally, they will be able to answer student questions.

Speakers will present to a particular grade level on Thursday, May 9, and they will present 4-5 sessions approximately 20 - 25 min each. Speakers will be selected by our Social Emotional Learning Team with the goal of representing a variety of career fields. If we have multiple volunteer speakers from similar career fields, speakers will be selected randomly.

Career Day Grade level schedule for Thursday, May 9

Kindergarten......12:00 - 2:00 pm

1st Grade...........12:45 - 2:45 pm

2nd Grade............8:00 - 10:00 am
