     Learning at Home

     

    Travis Elementary utilizes a Family Homework Choice policy. Homework choices provided by your child’s teacher are completed at the discretion of families based upon student need and do not factor into student grades. The ‘Essential Understandings’ of what homework is at Travis can be found in the Travis Policies and Procedures found here.

     

    For families seeking to support learning at home, listed below are recommended online instructional resources. These can be used to:

    • Find explanations of concepts to reinforce student learning
    • Practice concepts/build foundational skills
    • Extend learning

     

    Get a detailed look at what your child should be learning and achieving in each grade level by going to the Houston ISD Parent Guides at this website: https://www.houstonisd.org/domain/46742.

     

    If you need assistance supporting your child’s learning at home, ask your child’s teacher to share with you the visual aides used in the classroom (i.e. anchor charts or student notebooks) or where to access visuals among the online resources listed below.
