STAAR Testing Dates

Students in Grades 3-5 will begin taking their STAAR Assessments this week.

Please avoid scheduling appointments on the following dates to ensure that students are in class for testing.

Roadrunner Spirit shirts are on sale now! Shirts may be purchased in the office for $15. Online orders may also be placed using the link below. Adult sizes are also available for proud parents, grandparents and community members!

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.

Bus routes for after school tutoring can be found below. Please note that there is only one bus for all routes.

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.

If you are interested in working with our team of volunteers, please contact Mrs. Cristina Hernandez, Parent Liaison today! We have several projects lined up for the last nine weeks. Together, we can accomplish so much, and as much as we love having our family members in the building, your Roadrunner loves it more!

As a reminder, especially as we enter "Field Trip Season," parents are required to complete a total of 50 hours if they are interested in attending the trip as a chaperone.

Robert R. Rojas Elementary is named after former trustee, Mr. Robert Ramirez Rojas. He joined the SISD Board in 1968. During his early years, he worked diligently to establish a bilingual program to ensure Spanish speaking children had the opportunity to learn English. Aside from promoting equity in students' educational experiences, he also focused on providing quality facilities and better salaries for teachers.
