Travis TAG PTA
The Travis TAG PTA consists of families, faculty, staff, and community members who are committed to supporting the school and students through roles including volunteering, fundraising, event planning, community outreach, parent education, teacher appreciation, providing enrichment programs for students, and welcoming prospective students.
This year our goal is for every student to join the PTA. Whether a student, parent, member of the faculty and staff, or a community member, your membership will impact the future of each student at William B Travis TAG. Each membership in the Travis TAG PTA includes membership in the Texas PTA and the National PTA. #YouCanPTA
PTA memberships are valid from August 1st through July 31.

Travis TAG PTA is Excited to Launch the New
Part of the Pack
Fundraising Campaign
Many may remember Treasure Travis, a check-writing campaign, which is now revamped and rebranded as Part of the Pack. This campaign and the spring auction are the PTA's primary fundraisers for the year, and both support key programs for students and faculty at Travis TAG.
HOW FUNDS ARE USED: Funds raised through this campaign go to fulfill faculty Wish List requests (e.g., art pottery wheel, registration fees for Band competitions, classroom needs, printers, etc.), provide staff appreciation events throughout the year, support additional learning (e.g., IXL online subscriptions by grade, field trips, etc.), provide additional resources to Specials, Electives and Clubs, create community through a variety of events (e.g., grade-level activities, Family and Student Picnics, Fall Festival, Movie Night, Spring Social and Auction, Field Day, etc.), and support the PTA operations (e.g., software system, communication tools, etc.).

Travis TAG High School Night
Audience: 6th - 8th grade students
High School Night is an annual event organized by the Travis TAG PTA with support from our Travis TAG counselor. The purpose of this event is for our students and their families to learn more about the many Dallas ISD high school options and programs. This event consists of different Dallas ISD high schools presenting their program and application process. There is a general session at the beginning in the auditorium (this includes a 1 minute elevator-pitch-style presentation from each school), followed by three presentation opportunities in breakout sessions around the school. Students select which three sessions they'll attend.
We encourage all middle school students and their families to attend!
Travis TAG students and their family and friends are in for a crazy, fun night of carnival rides, games, food, music, karaoke, a cake walk, a haunted hallway and more! An annual tradition, the Travis TAG PTA proudly hosts our Travis Fall Festival, attracting more than 400 families who gather in the campus grounds to enjoy the festivities, celebrate our family spirit, and engage in playful learning activities.
