Meet the Teacher on September 16th
Important- Please pull your child’s schedule up in HAC and take a picture or print it out. We are trying to go “green” this year and not waste so much paper, so we will not be printing all students’ schedules.
The evening will be different from in the past because we are following a more relaxed “come and go” schedule.
- · 6:00-6:30- Booster Clubs and School Clubs/Organizations will be set up in the cafeteria. Some will be selling club items and some will be just be sharing information.
- · 6:30-8:00- Come and go in classrooms – Meet the Teachers
- You may visit your child’s teachers in whatever order you wish. There is no set timeframe.
- Please remember, this is not the time to try to discuss specific issues you or your child is having with a class. Teachers will have a sign in that will allow you to indicate if you would like to be contacted for an individual conversation in the near future.
- Grade Level Presentations will be offered every 20 minutes beginning at 7:00

The Student Store has had an overwhelming response to the order form that went home in the beginning of school packets. Thank you very much!
Many of the orders we have been able to fill immediately, and we have been delivering to your student. There are a few things that we will be ordering in the next week for delivery later in the month.
I want to give you one last chance to place an order. You can access the order form here, print it out and send it to school NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY, September 9th with payment.

Meal Funds
On August 14th Food Services emailed families their student's Food Service PIN#. Students will either need to key in this number or swipe the barcode on their student ID to purchase meals or snacks in the school cafeteria. If students forget their Food Service PIN #, they will be able to access it, starting on the first day of school, in Home Access Center (https://roundrockisd.org/parents/home-access-center/). Cash is also accepted.
Parents may add funds to student food service account(s) by sending a check to the school cafeteria made out to RRISD Food Service or by credit card at MySchoolBucks.com. There is a minimal transaction fee to add money to a student’s account utilizing the online service, but there is no charge to set up low balance alerts or to view account activity.
Allergy Form
The Food Service website now has a comprehensive allergy form available online. The link to the form is on the first page of the Food Service website. For your reference, here it is

The form has also been released on social media via the Food Services Twitter page at @FoodRRISD and on the district Facebook page.
Free & Reduced
As a reminder students need to apply for free or reduced meals every year. If they were eligible last year their benefits will only be available the first 30 days from the beginning of the new school year. Only one application per household is necessary. The district encourages eligible students to go online to enroll and most importantly to participate daily and enjoy nutritious, tasty breakfasts and lunches. The online form is available in English & Spanish.
