Robison Elementary Rocket Register

Thank you so much for your patience during dismissal this first week of school. We strive to complete all dismissal by 4:25 pm; however, we will never compromise the safety of our students. Our students are doing better each day with learning their car rider and bus numbers. Some of our buses were overcrowded, and our transportation department has provided another bus for those students. With many of our students being new and without an official ID badge, drivers have been inputting their ID numbers as they load the bus. This has been a cause for the delay between loading and departing; however, we are expecting all students to have their badges in the next week, which will decrease our loading time tremendously.

Thank you for showing your appreciation to our staff on car rider duty. Our bus duty and car rider duty staff are truly amazing and have been working in this August heat to make sure our students are loaded and unloaded safely each day! I am grateful to be a part of such a supportive school community!

Thank you for a wonderful first week!

THIS LINK includes some favorite things of our staff. If you'd like to see what your child's teacher or a particular staff member favors, you can find this on the link. There is a link with a bitmoji in the last column that might not open due to the settings; however, everything else is accessible.

Please take a moment to label items that could possibly be left behind...water bottles, jackets, and lunch kits. You would be amazed at the number of items that end up in our Lost and Found. Unfortunately, most go unclaimed, and then they are donated. If these items are labeled, we are able to return them to our students. A water bottle was left on a bus in the morning, and the bus driver noticed it after all students unloaded. The child's name was on the water bottle, and it was returned to her that morning. This child was so relieved, and the teacher said she was worried about it. As simple as it sounds, something like this could have made a child upset or anxious, but it was prevented because the water bottle was labeled. We also know how expensive these items are, and we want to prevent you from having to replace these items.

So, please LABEL, LABEL, LABEL!!

Free and Reduced Meals

To determine eligibility for free or reduced-price meals for the 2024-2025 school year, families with students who do not attend a Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) campus will need to complete a Free & Reduced Meal Application. Applications must be completed each school year to determine eligibility.

View the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Child Nutrition Programs Income Eligibility Guidelines. The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) administers school nutrition programs in Texas and offers an eligibility calculator on the Square Meals Online Program Eligibility Form.

Free & Reduced Meals Application

How to access the application in SchoolCafe Online.

Student birthdays are recognized on our daily announcement slides.

If you'd like to have your child's birthday celebrated at school, we offer parents the opportunity to purchase ice cream or cookies from the cafeteria to be distributed to their child's class during lunch. In order for our cafeteria to prepare for this, you must give at least one week's notice. You may email michelle.mendiola@cfisd.net if you are interested.

We are unable to allow students to hand out birthday invitations at school or to hand out birthday treats in the classrooms.

With our new electronic marquee, parents and guardians will have the option of purchasing a Birthday Marquee Message. Once our staff has been trained on the marquee and all details have been decided, we will communicate this information to you. Stay tuned!

To allow our teachers time to establish lunch routines and procedures with our students, we are unable to accommodate visitors until Friday, September 6. More specific information will be communicated as this date approaches.

Text messages via School Messenger have been sent to parents according to their routed PM bus number. This will only continue until we have settled into a routine. Parents should be able to view when their student scans on and off of the bus; however, there is a delay from the time a child scans on in the afternoon until the time the bus departs the campus.

The Ride360 transportation app was discontinued. To ensure that you continue to receive accurate transportation information for your student, we urge you to download the new app, My Ride K-12. This upgraded app offers a host of new features, timely notifications, and enhanced visualization of information. Make the switch today to stay connected seamlessly.

Your usernames and passwords from Ride 360 will transfer over to My Ride K-12. Furthermore, you can utilize your existing login credentials to access a web version of My Ride K-12 at myridek12.tylerapp.com.
