Greetings Roadrunner Community! Welcome Back to Week 3! We have a short week ahead of us. As a reminder, there is no school on Monday, January 20, in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday. Classes resume on Tuesday.


Frigid Temperatures

A cold front is predicted to arrive this week and drop temperatures drastically for next week. Although snow is NOT predicted, we will monitor the weather carefully. Please ensure that students are prepared for the elements. A warm jacket and sweaters should be sent with students. Because of the predicted low temperatures, students will be kept inside for recess and P.E.


Report Card Distribution

Report Cards will be distributed to students on Wednesday, January 22. For questions or concerns regarding grades, please contact your child's teacher.


Latino Family Literacy Night

Our Latino Family Literacy Night Program resumes this week. Parents and community members are invited to participate in the free weekly program. Join us every Wednesday from 3:30pm-5:00pm in the library. Snacks and free day care are provided.


Traffic Concerns

We have seen a slight increase in disrespectful confrontations with our cross guards and officers. As a reminder, our cross guards and officers are out in crucial locations to help ensure that our community is safe. If you have questions or concerns regarding their duties, please contact Ms. Marquez.


Have a fantastic week!

Ms. Marquez

Attendance Matters Attendance Matters

We will be targeting our attendance rate this year to ensure that our students are in class everyday learning and growing. Absences not only affect a child's education, but it can also impact their social emotional needs. Absences also impact district funding resulting in a loss of programs and personnel.


Our campus goal is 97%, and we know that we achieve this goal together. Students have been provided with an attendance tracker to help keep track of their own attendance throughout the year. Weekly, monthly and quarterly incentives will be provided to all students with perfect attendance. Please note that illnesses and emergencies will be excused with the proper documentation. Notes may be emailed to attendancerojas@sisd.net. For extenuating circumstances, please contact Mrs. Baez, Attendance Administrator, at (915) 937-8500.

2024-2025 Dismissal Procedures 2024-2025 Dismissal Procedures

Our campus has two dismissal times for different grade levels. This is to help ease the traffic congestion that would build up if we had all students dismissing at the same time. We ask that you adhere to the dismissal procedures in order to ensure that we have a quick, efficient and SAFE dismissal for all. As a reference for all parents, our dismissal takes exactly 15 minutes from the time the dismissal bell rings until the last student is loaded. Please review the procedures below.


Bauman Road Holding Zone

PreK and Kinder students will be allowed to form a line on the dirt road closest to the street for the 2:45pm dismissal. Early bird parents waiting for the 3:15pm pickup may form a second line next to the PK and Kinder Vehicles.


The second line should begin after Anaheim Ln to ensure that there is enough room for all vehicles. After the 2:45pm pickup line is allowed to enter into the parking lot, early arrivers may move into the lane to begin forming the 3:15pm line. Please review pictures.


Pick Up Cards

All vehicles using the pick up zone will need to have their student pick up card displayed in the window. Once your child is in the vehicle, please remove the card from the window, so we know you are ready to exit.


Drive Up Procedures

As you drive up to the student area, we ask that you remain in your vehicle. School staff is available to help load students into cars. Do not leave your vehicle unattended. Once your child is loaded, you may exit your vehicle to help buckle in your student. Staff will not secure any seatbelts for liability purposes. Once your child is securely strapped in, we ask that you exit the parking lot.


No Parking

Parents will not be allowed to park inside the parking lot during dismissal times. We are seeing an increased number of vehicles parking in the parking lot and cutting in front of other vehicles. This is not allowed out of fairness to everyone. We have timed our procedures and it takes five minutes from the time a vehicle enters the parking lot, to the time we load students. Please help us keep the system running efficiently. Please note that the fire department conducts random inspections to ensure that the area is safe. Violators will be cited.

Are you interested in serving your community as a volunteer? We are currently receiving applications for parent volunteers. Your assistance is vital to the success of the campus. Parents may assist in a variety of ways. Please note that volunteer hours are REQUIRED for any parent who may be invited to class field trips. All volunteers are required to complete a background check to begin volunteering at the campus.
