Tiger Task Force
INSERT TIGER TASK FORCE WORDING HERE. Get involved! PTA needs your help to sustain the wonderful programming we sponsor at Travis. We are committed to building a community of student leaders and learners through a strong partnership with our teachers and administration. Everyone has a place at Travis - let the PTA help you find yours!
Who We Are:
From the creators who brought you the PTA and the William B. Travis Foundation, meet the Tiger Task Force – a new PTA committee for role models, parents/guardians, grandparents - anyone in our Travis community who wants to pitch in and make a difference. We roll up our sleeves to help Travis with campus repairs, projects, and event support—while having fun and building community. Whether you’re handy, have power tools, or have grit to get it done, we’d love for you to join! [Click here to sign up!]
What We Do:
Campus Repairs & General Help: From fixing playground equipment to hauling supplies, painting, mowing, or setting up events, we roll up our sleeves wherever Travis needs us.
Special Skills & Connections: Not into power tools? No problem. We also need people who can gather bids, recommend pros, coordinate vendors, or lend community connections.
Build Community Spirit: Beyond the work, we show up for each other—strengthening the Travis community with socials, celebratory downtime, and a visible, positive presence at school events.
Some Projects Already on the Radar for 2025:
Sandbox refresh
Sprinkler repairs
Library update support

how do i get started?
First, each volunteer must annually pass a background check. HISD’s volunteer program is called Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS). Every person who helps out in the classroom or attends field trips must renew their VIPS certification for the 2025-2026 school year. This background check is free, but may take up to 2 weeks for approval. Note: you also need to be VIPS approved to eat lunch with your child in the cafeteria.
Next, we encourage new and returning families to join PTA for the 2025-2026 school year. Parents, Grandparents, Guardians, Community Members, and Educators are welcome to join - every membership counts! We are an official PTA, affiliated with Texas and National PTA. Annual memberships are $7.
