Election Day Bake Sale
Help us welcome our community on Tuesday with our Election Day Bake Sale. Many voters come before work, during lunch, or on the way home, and love the option of picking up a little something at our Bake Sale. Please consider baking or buying something for the sale. Your donations can be dropped off at reception on Monday or Tuesday morning. Proceeds go to the 5th grade End of Year fund.
Magnet Application Time
If you have a child in 5th grade, you may want to apply for admission to a Middle School Magnet Program. If you have a child currently attending Roberts on a Magnet transfer and have a younger child who will be entering kindergarten in the fall, you will need to apply within the first phase.
On Monday, the online application system will open. Tomorrow I will send an email with directions for applying online, as well as the website. Watch for that email tomorrow. The deadline to apply for a magnet program in Phase I is December 20, 2013. Most schools will not have space available after Phase I.
Enrollment and ResidencyMany times families move during a school year and are interested in staying at Roberts. The only way to stay at Roberts if you have moved out of the school attendance zone is to apply for a magnet transfer. Magnet Transfers are granted by lottery, when space is available in the specific grade level. The deadline to do that is December 20th. No applications received after December 20th will be reviewed.
The question that often arises during enrollment relates to residency. Residency is what qualifies you as an “in-zone” student. So, what is residency? Generally it is referred to as where you live and sleep every night, but there are more detailed and specific criteria.

1. Does the parent/guardian who establishes residency own, rent or lease a home, condominium, apartment or living quarters within the attendance zone?
2. Does the family have furniture and personal effects in the attendance zone with no furniture or personal effects at a previous residence?
3. Does the parent/guardian receive personal mail in the attendance zone?
4. Are the parents/guardians registered to vote in the attendance zone?
5. Does the parent/guardian regularly live in the attendance zone and plan to live there indefinitely? Have all licensed drivers in the household complied with DPS regulations for changing address?
