Ofelia Valente, Assistant Principal
I am honored to return to Lake Travis Elementary as Assistant Principal. When I first moved to Austin 12 years ago, I began my journey with Lake Travis Elementary and am thrilled to once again serve the amazing students, staff, and families of this community. After spending the past two years as the Multilingual Education Coordinator in Eanes ISD, it feels great to be back home at LTE.
With over 24 years of experience in education, I am passionate about fostering strong relationships and creating a school environment where every student is supported to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. I believe in the power of teamwork, clear goals, and a shared commitment to excellence. I look forward to partnering with our staff and families to ensure a positive and engaging school experience for all.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cardle, Receptionist
I can hardly remember a time when I was NOT a Receptionist at Lake Travis Elementary! I have been at LTE for 16 years, and have enjoyed every minute of it. I love our campus for many reasons but one of my favorite aspects of LTE is its diversity. It is also very rewarding for me to use my (limited) Spanish to help parents and students.
I am a native Texan, and grew up in Houston and Fort Worth. I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, and am married to a TCU Horned Frog. My husband, Jim, and I have been married for 30 years and have two grown children, Will (23) and Audrey (20). Both of our kids are “lifers” and went K-12th in LTISD.
I love to cook, watch sports, travel, do yardwork and entertain. My favorite thing to do is have my kids back home with their friends for holidays and weekends…. I miss those days! Enjoy them while you can – they grow up fast!!
