Student Food Deliveries--REMINDER:
Per the ROISD Student Handbook, fast food deliveries are not allowed for students without a parent visitor. Parents are invited to visit for lunch once a week, and may bring commercially prepared food at their visit. Parent visitors must be on the student contact list, and will be required to check in the front office with a Driver’s License.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Dress Code Reminders
To highlight a few Dress Code Reminders
- Students are allowed to wear a jacket with a hood; however, students are unable to wear the hoodie pulled over their head while in the school building.
- Clothing may not have ANY rips, tears or inappropriate graphics - that includes tops and bottoms; also a student's midsection should not be visible. Please note, rips or tears with fabric underneath are allowed. Please review the updated ROISD Dress Code with your child and find appropriate clothing for school.

Lunch Visitors
Lunch visitors are welcomed on campus Monday-Friday. Visitors will sit in the visitor section with their student only. Food items may not be shared with other students. We are limited on the amount of visitor seating available and you may be sitting with another parent/student.
Visitors will check in at the front office and will be required to show Valid ID. Please arrive a few minutes early to check in.
Arrival/Dismissal
Morning Car Riders: Drop off in back under awning. PK-K and sibling groups with PK-K, please stay on the inside lane (1) closest to the school. 1st-5th please stay on the outside lane (2). If you arrive after 7:25, please take your child to sign in at the front office. The back entrance will be locked and staff will not be present to supervise students left outside.
Dismissal: When picking up, PK-K and sibling groups with PK-K, please stay on the inside lane (1) closest to the school. 1st-5th please stay on the outside lane (2). If you have to wait for your student you will be asked to pull to the "Wait Zone" to ensure traffic continues to flow.
If a student needs assistance with buckling carseats, please do not exit your vehicle. Please pull into the safety zone parking lot next to the cafeteria to secure the students into the vehicle. This keeps our lines moving efficiently.
Thank you for your cooperation in these systems.
Student Birthdays
We LOVE to celebrate our students on their special day!! We are welcoming parents to send items in for the class to celebrate. You are welcome to drop these treats off in the office. If you wish to visit your child's class, an appointment must be made with the teacher.
