Friday is our annual Field Day.  Make sure your child is dressed for an active day. Children should have athletic shoes for the day.  No Crocs or sandals, please.  Your teacher will be providing a schedule and any details specific to class participation.


RE Family Day of Service - 11/8
Thank you to everyone who has already signed up. Please join us to help count, sort, and pack donated books for kids who don't have their own books. We are looking for 50 more volunteers. Please go to www.robertselementary.org for a link to our volunteer sign-up. 




Note From Our Webmaster:
Hi Roberts parents,
If you'd like to access the parents-only areas of the school website and don't yet have an account, please email roberts.info.services@gmail.com with your full name and your child's name and grade. You'll receive a return email with instructions for signing in.


3rd Grade Musical 
Just Around the Corner
Our musical theatre program, in its second year, allows students to be involved in a full stage production, either during the school day or after school.  All 3rd graders will participate in the program, learning the part of the chorus during weekly music class.

This week sign-up information will be sent home to all 3rd graders about our afterschool magnet enrichment classes for stage craft, principal roles or dance roles.  Our 3rd graders will be performing Disney's 101 Dalmations Kids.  

Please note that while there is no charge for this afterschool experience, it is not childcare. Students will be expected to be engaged in the work.  This is a fantastic experience for students who show an interest.

And in case you didn't know, our musical theatre program is a collaboration with Young Audiences Houston, who helps us find local expert artists for instruction.  In fact, Psophonia, who works with our dancers, is listed #4 as one of the Top 10 Contemporary Dance Companies in Houston by Houston Press magazine! http://blogs.houstonpress.com/artattack/2013/11/the_rest_of_the_best_houstons_21.php
