Campus Visitors in 2022-2023

At Rogers Elementary, we strive to create a welcoming a safe environment for all! When arriving to campus, we ask that you ring the front doorbell. Our receptionist, Porsha Piper, will greet you and ask for you to hold up your ID card to the camera on the front porch. We ask that you be kind and patient as Porsha is upholding our Frisco ISD procedures.

Visitors without an ID will not be granted access to the building or able to checkout their student for early dismissal. It is imperative that all visitors bring their ID for every visit. If you are waiting in line to enter the building behind another visitor, please do not follow in the visitor in front of you. Follow the procedure of ringing the doorbell, showing your ID, and then enter the building. Thank you for your patience! The safety of our students and staff is a top priority here at Rogers and in Frisco ISD.

This year all campus visitors will be required to sign up using a reservation system before visiting in order to maintain the highest levels of safety for our students. The following opportunities to visit campus will kick off after the first few weeks of school. We will share links to sign up in the coming weeks:

• Lunch Visitors (begins on 8/29) - 5 visitor spots per grade level per day. We ask that parents visit 1-2 times per month to allow all interested visitors the opportunity to eat lunch with their student.
• GMR (Now every other Friday) - 50 visitor spots. We ask that parents visit once per month to allow enough space for all visitors who are interested. Sign up link coming soon.
• Sip N Snips (Mondays from 8:15-10:00 AM) - Sign up to sip coffee and cut out or prepare materials for teachers. Sign up link coming soon.
• Mystery Readers (K-2 on Tuesdays and 3-5 on Wednesdays). Grade levels will share their time slot and welcome you into the classroom to read with the class. Sign up link coming soon.

As a reminder, when visiting campus for these events, please do not park in the front fire lane. A photo ID will always be required to enter the building and presented during visitor check-in.

Rogers Campus Logistics Information

Please review this information before the first day of school, August 10th.

There are six types of drills practiced in Frisco ISD for safety purposes. The image below outlines the Standard Response Protocol method we use. All Rogers staff have been trained in understand and implementing these responses. Below is an excerpt from their website:

"A uniform, planned, and practiced response to any incident is the foundation of a safe school. Safe business. Safe community. The SRP is action-based, flexible, and easy to learn. It rationally organizes tactics for response to weather events, fires, accidents, intruders and other threats to personal safety.

The SRP’s development is ever-evolving, created with extensive collaboration between experts such as first responders, public safety, school, districts, and communities. Its tactics are data-driven, researched and based on experience and contemporary practices."

Drills at Rogers will begin next week on campus.

If your child is interested in purchasing breakfast and/or lunch during the school day, please set up a School Cafe account. Click here to set up or access a pre-existing School Cafe account for your student. For more information about FISD Child Nutrition, visit their webpage here.

Free and Reduced Application

Frisco ISD urges families who may qualify for meal benefits due to low family income to submit an application. In addition to free school meals, there are a number of additional benefits, detailed below, that students can receive when a family qualifies and shares their eligibility status. In addition, Frisco ISD receives additional state and federal funding for each student who qualifies for free or reduced-price meals. These funds provide extra academic support and resources to students and schools.

Parents are encouraged to complete the application online; however, if you prefer to complete a paper copy, you can access those files below. We will also have paper copies available during our Meet the Teacher Nights.

Joining the Rogers PTA is the best way you can financially support some extra special events and programs offered to the students throughout the year, including class parties, field day, house shirts, ninja run, diverse abilities day and staff appreciation just to name a few! Paying PTA membership dues helps support these things but does not mean you are required to volunteer. There are many opportunities to volunteer throughout the year if you are available, and as a member of the PTA you will be the first to hear about them. We hope you will join us as we support our students and teachers with an extraordinary 2022-23 school year!
