    Car Rider Pro Tips to Increase Efficiency:

    1. Please pull all the way forward so we and load/unload the maximum amount of cars at one time.
    2. Have your child ready to exit the car from the passenger side with their backpacks on prior to your car stopping to unload.
    3. We are requesting that parents do not park and walk your children into the school, unless you are still in the enrollment process and need to go to the front office. When parents walk across traffic with their kids, it slows our car rider line down for everyone. During dismissal, all parents parking and walking up will be processed once the car rider line is empty.
    4. During dismissal, the car rider number assigned to your child will be displayed on the Smart Board inside their classroom. To assist in making the car rider line more efficient, we are asking that you help your child memorize their car rider number. After seeing their number on the board, your child will exit the building through the front entrance and look to the right and left for your car, then find a place to stand where they can see both ends of the car rider line.

    We have been working closely with both the LCISD and the Fulshear Police Department to ensure the best possible traffic pattern and safety for all of our car riders. The first couple of weeks always bring extra traffic to our area, and our dismissal process tends to move more slowly during this time due to an increased number of students who are car riders. We recommend leaving a few minutes earlier than usual to allow for any potential delays or congestion. Additionally, carpooling with other parents or using alternative modes of transportation such as our district busing transportation can help reduce traffic and improve safety for everyone. Please be patient; I promise it gets better! To help us maintain a safe traffic pattern, we request that you follow the outlined traffic pattern below. LCISD Police will assist with traffic flow during this time.

    Every student will receive a car rider tag with a number on it, even if that is not their permanent mode of transportation. If your child is not a car rider, this tag will be going home with your child shortly, so please be on the lookout for this in case you ever need to utilize the car rider line. You will need to hang this transportation tag in your car's rearview mirror to pick up your child in the car rider line at the end of the day. If you do not have your tag, the staff will ask you to park and enter the front office to show your ID to ensure the safety of every child. We have plan for the first day for those who were not able to pick up a tag, so don't worry if you do not have one.

    Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work together to create a safe and efficient dismissal process. Your patience and adherence to these guidelines are greatly appreciated and will help us ensure that every student gets home safely and promptly.

    Walkers

    Roberts Middle School will be allowing walkers this year due to the new houses being built within walking distance. In order to ensure the safety of students who will be walking, a Roberts staff member will receive student walkers near the library in the main hall and walk students down Charger Way and release them once they get past the Leaman driveway.

    Please note that students who are walking, will not be released to cars parked on Charger Way.

    As the safety of our students is our top priority, we strongly discourage any walkers cross FM1093. If you would like your child to be released to walk towards/across FM1093, please contact klittle@lcisd.org.

    Rainy Day Walker Dismissal

    In order to manage rainy day dismissal well, please read the following procedures:

    • Students will be notified of rainy day dismissal over the announcements and families via ParentSquare App. Students will also have access to their phones once the school day ends at 4:30 p.m. and are ONLY allowed to utilize phones to communicate with their parents for dismissal purposes.
    • For safety measures of students and staff, no student will be allowed to walk if rainy day dismissal is called.
    • Every walker should have an alternate way of getting home on rainy dismissal days.
    • The recommendation is to have your child take the bus on a rainy day dismissal. However, bus transportation will not be provided if you have not completed your transportation form.
    • Having students ride the bus is always a great way to alleviate stress during rainy days as well.

  • STUDENTS CANNOT OPEN ANY EXTERIOR DOOR TO ANYONE - Students are reminded each morning that they are not to open an exterior door to anyone. Even if it's Me, Ms. Barrera, Ms. Flores, or their teacher. Maintaining the safety and security of Roberts Middle School is the number one priority and there are no exceptions for exterior doors. Please note that it is a mandatory 3-day out of school suspension for opening an exterior door to let someone in. Our students have already been doing an amazing job of this and I could not be more proud of our Charger community!
