STAAR Scores
Student score reports from recent STAAR administrations will be in this week's Tuesday folder.  The score report will provide information about performance and growth from your child's STAAR score last year.  Please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher if you have questions after receiving your child's report.  (They will not be available before Tuesday.)


Thank you, Courtney Tardy!
Please join me in thanking Courtney Tardy for serving as our PTO President this past year.  You can't imagine the number of emails, phone calls, text messages, meetings and events our PTO Presidents manage, and Courtney has done that with grace.  She has given a tremendous amount of time and talent to align our resources to make Roberts great! Make sure you say thank you when you see her.


Have a great summer!  Stay safe, and make time for reading!
