Just a friendly reminder, Monday, November 2nd and Tuesday, November 3rd are student holidays. Classes will resume Wednesday, November 4th, please plan accordingly.

We would like to honor Veterans through a slideshow that we will present throughout the days of Nov 9-13. Please email a photo of your Veteran to Mr. Billman. Include the Veteran's name, the student name and grade. All photos are due by November 6th. Email a photo of your Veteran to: rbillman@conroeisd.net

We would also like to invite you to our Veterans Music Program, where our amazing 4th-grade students will perform. All families are invited to attend and honor our veterans together. See flier below for details. ❤️💙🤍

We want to remind all families that applications for free and reduced-price meals must be completed each school year. Whether your family qualified last year or has never applied before, we encourage you to submit an application for the 2026–2027 school year.

Applying is quick and easy! You can complete the application online at www.myschoolapps.com or stop by the school to request a paper application.

Why is it important to apply?

Even if your child does not regularly eat meals in the cafeteria, we encourage you to apply! Qualifying applications help our school receive important funding to support programs and services such as after-school tutorials, instructional paraprofessionals, and additional intervention staff who provide extra academic support to our students.

Additionally, the number of students who qualify can impact how our school is evaluated through the state's accountability system. When eligible families do not apply, our school may miss out on valuable resources and accurate representation of the students we serve.

Your application makes a difference, not only for your family but for our entire Runyan community!

If you have already submitted an application for this school year, there is no need to apply again.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact our front office staff at 936-709-2800.

Thank you for helping us ensure that every Roadrunner has the resources and support needed to succeed!

One Team. One Family. One Goal. 💚💛

To support reading growth, students who did not receive a passing score on the Spring 2026 grade 3 STAAR Reading Language Arts (RLA) assessment are eligible for state-funded tutoring support through a Parent Access to Supplemental Supports (PASS) account. Applications for the $400 PASS tutoring grant opened this week and are now available through the PASS website.
