A Note from Nurse Rachel Lepine

Travis Rebel Families, 

Flu season is upon us, and we want to ensure that our Rebels are healthy. Austin Public Health has upcoming vaccine clinics that offer free vaccinations for adults and children. You can also get your student's state required vaccines updated at these clinics. Supplies are limited, so please arrive early!

Special Education and 504 Family Power Hour

We are excited to share the details of Austin ISD's upcoming Family Empower Hour sessions, which provide valuable information and support to our students' families. The topic for the next meeting is Child Find and is scheduled for September 18 at 12:00 pm and then again at 6:00 pm on Google Meet. This session will explain how our district identifies and supports students who may need special education services. We will cover the steps from referral to evaluation, and how we determine eligibility for special education services.
