PRINCIPAL WALKER WELCOMES YOU TO THE NEW RMS!
Greetings RMS Family,
I look forward to welcoming you all to the 2019 – 2020 school year at Roberson Middle School! As always, our emphasis will be on what matters most… OUR SCHOLARS. Our state-of-the-art building design and new, focused approach of the Collaborative Ownership Model, which features our 4RMS Communities: Performing Arts, STEM-Engineering, Environmental Agriculture, and Law Enforcement, will show everyone that SISD and our RMS staff is committed to providing excellence in achievement for all students. RMS has built a LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE, and this year will be no different!
On August 14th, we will continue reminding all stakeholders of our daily threshold greeting, “We ARE Roberson Razorbacks! Remarkable D N A: Definitely Not Average!”

We are making gains, but still have things to do which will require 100% cooperation, problem-solving skills, and a level of innovative thinking from all stakeholders. If anyone is up for the task, WE ARE! I'm so excited. Our building is nothing short of REMARKABLE! I am excited for you all to visit and see. Please note that on the first two days of school, we will have no visitors in our building.

Spring ISD transportation serves students who live one mile or more from their zoned campus of attendance as measured by the nearest commonly traveled public roadway. Estimated bus stop times are available through the Infofinder-I tool, but for the first few days of school, it is recommended that students are ready at the bus stop approximately 10 minutes prior to the estimated stop time until regular route schedules are established. You can access your child’s bus stop location/times by visiting the website, https://www.springisd.org/transportation, and clicking the link for Info Finder. You will need to insert your Spring ISD address information.

All students eat breakfast for free! The price for lunch starts at $2.00. In Spring ISD there is no meal charge for students who are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. All students have meal accounts and pin numbers that must be entered for every transaction whether paid, reduced or free. Eligibility for free and reduced-price meals is based on federally established income-and household-size guidelines. Each year, parents/guardians are required to completely fill out the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application. Parents who attend our Razorback camp will be allowed to turn in the meal application in exchange for student schedules. Paper applications will be provided to all parents as they enter the building on Aug 12 & 13, 2019 for our camp. To make online payments for lunch accounts, parents or guardians must first register at SchoolCafe.com using their child’s student identification number.
