Robison Elementary Rocket Register

We loved seeing so many of our students at Meet the Teacher! We hope you enjoyed seeing the renovations. Classrooms are now behind a multitude of locked doors. Our contractors will continue to complete punch list items and some of the minor unfinished work, but we were so thrilled to make it back in the building on Monday. Please share some extra love with your teachers! They have worked late and this weekend to prepare for day one, and I am so proud of our entire staff for their commitment to our students and community.

Please help our students to have a great first day of school by allowing them to follow their routine mode of transportation, beginning with day ONE. We will have extra hands available to help students find their classrooms; however, we will not have this help on day two. If you are interested in being a first-day helper, please email our PTO @ robisonptopresident@gmail.com. You will need to arrive by 8:15 am and scan your license to receive a badge. We are so grateful to those who are able to help show students to their classrooms. With the changes to the building, we could use more help than usual.

I ask for your patience and understanding as there is a good chance our buses will be running later than usual the first few days. Our drivers are checking each student to make sure they are getting off at the correct stop. Some of our very young students and new students are not familiar with their stops, and it takes extra time. Parents of bus riders should read the bus transportation information below.

PK, ECSE, Kindergarten, and NEW Parents to Robison: Check out the Boo Hoo Breakfast flyer. Our PTO would love to have you!

Tag, we are it, and can't wait for Monday!!

If you ordered your child's school supplies from EPI, they have been delivered to their classroom.

We are not selling supplies at Robison, but here is the list if you need it:

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
Questions about the Free and Reduced Lunch program? Contact the office at 281-897-4550 or freeandreduced@cfisd.net.

How to access the application in SchoolCafe Online.

• Log into schoolcafe.com. (Users will need to sign into an existing School Cafe account or create a new one).
• After you log in, on the left side under 'Benefits', click 'Apply'.

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.

For the first week of school, text messages will be sent via School Messenger to all guardians associated with each PM bus number. For example, if your child's bus leaves Robison at 4:33 pm, you will receive a TEXT MESSAGE if you are signed up with School Messenger. Pre-K and Kindergarten students must have an adult at the bus stop to receive their child. If someone is not there, the student will be returned to Robison, which creates worry for your child. Please download the app mentioned below to help you to keep track of when your student scans on and off the bus.

Student badges will be given to all students who are registered on the first day of school. Badges are required for transporting ALL students. If your child is new to CFISD, it might take a little while for them to receive their permanent badge with their picture.

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.

MY RIDE K – 12 WEBSITE

My Ride K-12 website will allow guardians to find information for their specific Cypress-Fairbanks ISD student including their bus stop along with morning and afternoon pickup and dropoff times. Click on the instructions below on how to create an account.
