Important Update from Mrs. Utecht, Principal
Rountree teachers work together collaboratively to strategically plan for quality instruction, student achievement, and assessment. Collaboration allows teachers time to study the state standards (TEKS) to share expertise, experiences, and plan in order to ensure that all students are accessing a curriculum that is tailored to meet their individual needs. 2-3 times a month, students will attend an extra specials class from 7:50- 8:20 to allow grade level teachers an additional collaborative planning period. During this time, teacher teams will be working and collaborating with our instructional coaches.
It's Rountree Chili Cook-off, Watch DOGS & Book Fair Time!
Morning Drop-off for K-6th Grade
For K-6 morning car riders, please continue to pull your car forward and encourage your child to exit the car. If your child cannot independently exit the car, please pull forward and park in the west side parking lot and walk your child to the door. We will also increase patrol and safety measures by adding more staff members to support with carpool. Cones will be set out to help direct traffic.
Thank you for helping us to keep safety first!
