Dear Roth Families,

Happy October! As we continue our theme—Once Upon a School—we’re reminding our students (and ourselves!) that every day is a new page in their learning story. Your partnership makes you co-authors in this adventure, and we’re grateful for the way you help set the scene at home.

A reminder that Attendance Matters-Consistent attendance is how students keep the plot moving. Please aim for on-time arrivals—first bell learning sets the tone for the whole day (doors open at 7:40 am and we begin learning at 8:05 am).

Thank you for your partnership and for believing—along with us—that every child is the hero of their own tale. Here’s to a month full of curiosity, kindness, and great plot twists!

Bus information search form-click here

*Bus information is only available for students that are attending their home campus and riding on a regular education bus. 

1. Complete the search form with your street address (house number, street name and zip code are required).

2. Specify a campus or grade level (without grade level you will see results for all three campus levels).

Please Note...

• When to be at the bus stop? Your child should be at their bus stop 10 minutes prior to the scheduled pick-up time.

• Bus number changes. Although every effort is made to keep the system current, some bus numbers may change.

• If you move, you will need to change your address with the campus and ask them to submit a change to transportation.

• If your student is a special education student

  A request must be submitted by the campus to the transportation department to set up transportation for your students before the bus information will be available. 

All car riders will use the front entrance at the flagpole and our fabulous NEW AWNING for both drop-off and pick-up. Please refrain from using your cell phone while in the carpool line-it is unlawful to use when operating a vehicle in a school zone.

Arrival Carpool Procedures

Cars: For morning drop-off, please pull all the way up past the flagpole to the first staff member. This helps us expedite the process and allows more vehicles to unload at once. Remain in a single lane until you exit the parking lot. For safety reasons, do not drive around cars that are unloading. Please also pay close attention to our crosswalk staff member, who will hold up a stop sign to allow pedestrians to cross safely. Car lane will close at 8:05am. Please do not drop off your child to enter on their own after this time. We are asking that you bring them in so they can arrive to school safely.

Parking Lot: If you need a longer goodbye in the morning, please park in the front lot and walk your child to the door using the crosswalk. Please do not drop off your child in the parking lot. If parking, you must walk them to the front door.

Dismissal Carpool Procedures

Cars: Please display your car tag clearly at all times in the driveway so staff can match your child to the correct car. Cars turning left into the parking lot must stay in the outer lane closest to the lot, while cars turning right must stay in the inner lane closest to the school. Do not switch lanes, as this affects student cone assignments. Pull forward to the cones, staying aligned with the cars beside and in front of you. Students will load once all cars are stopped and the whistle is blown. If your child is not at their cone, you may be asked to park so staff can safely locate them. Cars will be released one lane at a time.

Afternoon car loading runs 3:25–3:45 PM. After 3:45, you must park and sign out your child in the front office. Offices close at 4:00 PM; if you cannot arrive before then, please consider Koala Kare after-school care.

Parking lot: If directed to park before 3:45, a staff member will bring your child to you. Without a car tag, you must park, show ID, and pick up your child from the front office.

We appreciate our families who volunteer and partner with us throughout the school year on field trips and school events. All volunteers must complete the volunteering form and background check information. English and Spanish applications can be found here.

In alignment with Klein ISD’s Safe and Secure protocols, all visitors must show a valid photo ID at the front door before entering the building.

Please take a moment to review the Entry Procedure sign posted at our main entrance. All visitors are required to:

1. Ring the doorbell

2. Identify yourself

3. State your child’s name

4. Share the reason for your visit

5. Present your valid photo ID

🚫 For security reasons, please do not allow others to enter behind you who are not part of your group.

Once inside, please check in at the front office. If you are visiting beyond the front office area, your ID will be scanned through our district’s Raptor system.

🎫 All visitors will be provided a name tag, which must be worn visibly on the front of your shirt at all times while on campus.

All visitors must enter and exit through the main entrance near the flagpole.

Thank you for doing your part to keep our students and staff safe!

As we prepare for the start of the school year, we want to make sure our families are informed regarding a new state law, House Bill 1481, that was recently passed by the Texas Legislature. 

Beginning with the 2025–2026 school year, this new state law prohibits students from using personal communication devices during the instructional day while on school grounds. This includes cell phones, smartwatches, tablets, earbuds, and any other device capable of digital or telecommunication.

What This Means for Our Students

Students may bring personal communication devices to school, but they must be turned off, out of sight, and stored away in their backpack, pocket, laptop sleeve, or other personal belongings while on school grounds from the first bell to the end of the instructional day, including during class, passing periods, lunch, and recess. 

The law requires disciplinary consequences for the use of personal communication devices during the instructional day while on school grounds. Exceptions are provided for students covered under a Section 504 plan or an Individualized Education Program (IEP) that includes personal communication devices as an accommodation. Access will be permitted as outlined in their individual plans. 

Communication and Support

The majority of our schools implemented similar personal communication device expectations for students last school year and found that their students were less distracted, resulting in more focused learning environments and increased positive face-to-face interactions for students and staff.

Prior to the first day of school, we encourage you to discuss this new Texas law with your children and emphasize the importance of focusing on learning throughout the school day. School leadership will also communicate to students the expectations and consequences for failing to keep personal communication devices off and out of sight when they return to school. 

Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to ensure a positive, safe, and focused learning environment for all students.
