Dear WCHE Families,
As we continue to work together toward the success of all our students, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank each of you for your ongoing partnership with our school. Your support plays a crucial role in helping us provide the best academic, social, and emotional growth for your children.
At WCHE, we believe in the power of collaboration between home and school, and it’s through this partnership that we are able to foster a positive, nurturing environment for our students. Your dedication to your child's education and well-being makes a profound impact, and we are grateful for the trust and involvement you show in their learning journey.
Together, we are building not only strong academic foundations but also the social and emotional skills that will help our students succeed both in and outside the classroom. Thank you for being such an integral part of our school community. We are excited to continue this journey with you and your child.
As we approach the holiday break, I wish you all a joyful and restful time with family and friends. We look forward to seeing each of you in the new year and continuing our work together in 2025!
Warm regards,
Ms. Russ

Dear Lake Travis ISD Staff and Parents/Guardians,
The Lake Travis school board approved the 2025-2026 instructional calendar during its regular meeting on Wednesday, December 11.
According to the calendar for the 2025-2026 academic year, the first day of school will be Wednesday, August 13, 2025 and the last day of instruction will be Friday, May 22, 2026. Ending the year in May allows staff and students to meet commitments related to summer school, post-secondary summer studies, and other summer programs which begin in early June.
Please note, TEA will release its application for Professional Development waivers this spring. Lake Travis ISD will request September 22, 2025 as well as January 6, February 12, and February 13, 2026 to be used as Professional Development for staff (no school for students).
The District will also observe October 22 and December 19, 2025, as well as May 22, 2026, as Early Release Days. On those days, students will be released from elementary schools at 11:40 am and secondary campuses at 12:50 pm.
Additionally, of the two bad weather days required, one has been "banked" and a second is designated as Friday, April 3, 2026 of the board-approved calendar.
The 2025-2026 instructional calendar is available on the District website and on each school website (listed under ‘Calendars’) and is also attached at the bottom left of this message.
Sincerely,
Marco Alvarado
Executive Director for Communications & Community Relations
