    Welcome to Roberts Elementary School!
     

    Roberts Families:

     

    Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!  I know the summer was unprecedented with the shorter summer and tropical storm Beryl, nonetheless we are ready to begin another year full of inquiry and learning. We have lots of new faces this year joining the Roberts team and we are excited to have them as part of our staff.   

     

    At Roberts we believe in continuous learning and improvement.  We ended the 23-24 school year with strong preliminary test results across all tested areas including NWEA MAP and STAAR.  I am looking forward to sharing our final scores in detail at the State of the School in late Fall. 

     

    The legacy of our school rests on a commitment to providing a strong academic foundation for all students regardless of their starting point.  We use a differentiated approach incorporating inquiry and student voice while focusing on the IB Learner Profile into every class every day none of which is possible without continued parental support. 

     

    Thank you for choosing Roberts as your elementary school of choice.  I am grateful to start my ninth year as principal at Roberts and my 31st year in HISD.  Thank you for trusting me with your children and to lead this phenomenal school!
