A word from the principal

Greetings Remarkable Parents,

I hope you enjoyed your weekend as well as the extra hour gained as much as I have. Progress reports are available for view. Teachers may be contacting you about your student attending small group tutorials in the upcoming weeks. Tutoring is scheduled Monday through Thursday after school for extra support. Parents, please make provisions for students to say so they can grow in the areas most needed.


The Spring ISD School of Choice applications process has begun. Parents, if you have 5th grade students who want to apply to attend Roberson, please make sure you are aware of all application deadlines. The same is true for the parents of 8th graders who want to attend Spring Early College, Wunsche HS, or Dekaney PTech Program. Please make sure to visit the Spring ISD website to access the applications.


Roberson will have two opportunities for 5th graders to visit the campus. On Monday, November 8th, 2021 from 6:30-7:00 p.m., there will be a campus tour and community introductions. On Wednesday, November 17th, 2021, from 6:30-7:00 p.m., there will be a showcase with all of the campus organizations and student exhibits so that 5th graders can experience what Roberson has to offer. If you have any questions, please remember to reach out to the grade level office.

As always, we appreciate you for all you do. Remember You're Remarkable, Definitely Not Average.

SPECIAL NOTICE

Big picture

Parents, please remain vigilant. We appreciate your assistance!

There has been an onslaught of inappropriate behavior and vandalism occurring nation wide at school campuses due to a TIKTOK Challenge entitle, "Devious Licks." November's challenge is Kiss someone else's girl. This could incite fights, be seen as harassment, or the like. We definitely do not want any student to be subjected to this behavior nor do want our students to participate in this behavior. TIK TOK Challenges should NOT be followed, and we implore you to talk to your student about appropriate behaviors and not those that could have serious repercussions.


Parents, we need your help to please speak to your child about the challenges, and the possible ramifications if they are found destroying school property, sexually harassing another student or staff member. Students may speak to grade level principals, counselors, secretaries, and/or teachers to report suspicious activity, or plans.


Thank you for your attention and help in this matter.

Attendance

Attendance

Regular school attendance is essential for students to earn the full value of his or her education. Daily attendance allows students the benefit of: teacher-led instruction, peer discussion, building each day’s learning on the previous day’s learning, participating in school activities, and growing as individuals. Absences may result in serious disruption of a student’s mastery of instruction; therefore, the student and parent should make every effort to avoid unnecessary absences. Students will need to be present at school for at least 90% of the time for the school year in order to meet attendance requirements for promotion.

Although we encourage student creativity and a means for students to express themselves, Dr. Edward Roberson Middle School’s philosophy is to maintain a focus on the educational process, and to ensure the reduction of distractions and disruptions to the learning environment.
