RES PTA will be re-enrolling as a National PTA School of Excellence this year for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years because research shows that increased family engagement is linked to school improvement and student achievement.

Our School of Excellence Action Plan will be focused on improving aspects identified through community feedback.  Your voice matters and will help us understand how to TAKE ACTION and improve our PTA programming to speak up for every child.

WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK! PLEASE TAKE THIS ANONYMOUS SURVEY

Welcome back Roadrunner families!!

My name is Kate Knerr and I am looking forward to being President of the fabulous RES PTA for the 23-24 school year.  My son, Charlie, is going to be in third grade this year and I have two other sons who are in seventh grade at RMS next door.  I have been involved with the PTA since 2016, and I can say getting to know the students, teachers and staff as a volunteer is such a rewarding experience.  RES is a special community of passionate and innovative teachers and staff supported by involved parents.  I am so grateful our kids get to benefit from being part of this community.  Below are some highlights of programs the PTA plans to provide this year.  Please take a look, save the dates for PTA meetings and send us an email at robiouselempta@gmail.com if you have questions about how to get involved.  Please follow Robious Elementary School PTA on Facebook and Instagram to stay informed of current events and volunteer opportunities. 

The best way to learn about all things PTA is to join PTBoard. This is where our PTA news is posted and all sign-ups for volunteering and donations are sent out.   New to RES? Go to https://respta.ptboard.com/ and choose create an account and use registration code: XYAGED. Returning families DO NOT need to use a registration code.  IMPORTANT!! After you create an account, please add your students to their classes.  From the main menu on the left, click on “Student Directory”.  Click on “My Student” then “Add a Student” and complete the information. Return to the main menu and click “Class & Group” then add your student(s) to their classes.

Check out some of the fun we have planned for this year (some dates could change):

• IN PERSON PTA MEETINGS 9/7, 11/13, 1/16, 3/4, 5/13  **ALL MEETINGS WILL BE IN PERSON**

• September – National PTA Reflections Art Program (submissions due late Oct) and Fall running club begin

In addition to volunteer opportunities, the RES PTA is proud to help fiscally support our staff with direct grants to classroom teachers and funding for each Resource teacher and DLI team.  We are also excited to be able to help cover some costs of the new house system that is kicking off this fall.  WE ARE five houses, WE ARE one crew, WE ARE a Roadrunner Family. Look for information on Facebook/Instagram and in the PTA newsletter on PTBoard about how to make a Direct Donation that is a one time payment made per family at your discretion.  In addition, there will be multiple spirit nights at community businesses throughout the school year and we have some community partners.  Look out for a flyer that lists tentative dates for all spirit nights (SAVE THE DATES!) and explains how to register with Kroger and other community partners.  Starting in September any time you order Papa Johns between the 8th and 14th of every month, 20% will come back to support our programs.  

Let’s have a great year!!  Please consider getting involved as a volunteer – you won’t regret it!
