Roberts Elementary presents Annie, Jr.
Thursday, February 27th, 6:30 p.m.
This year we have grown our Fine Arts program to include musical stage productions.  This week our 3rd graders will be performing Annie, Jr. on the Roberts' stage.  You are invited to join us for the performance.

With full stage musicals, we are using more elaborate lighting, sound, costumes and props.  We will not open the house for seating until 6:15 p.m. to allow for sound checks and to ensure our stage crew has adequate time to set props and costumes.  We will ask that you wait in a line at the back entrance in the south hallway when you arrive until the stage crew opens the door.


Enrollment and Residency
Many 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 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.  Simply owning property in the school zone does not qualify your child as an in-zone student if you actually live somewhere else.


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?
