Program Potpourri 2009

September 24, 2009

6:00 – 7:30 pm

Old Hopewell Meeting Room

(on 620 in front of RRISD Administration)

Come to this interactive event to hear more about a variety of out-of-school options and speak with representatives of the various programs! Following a brief overview of each program, representatives will be available to address questions and provide more information regarding their offerings. The featured programs may include: Destination Imagination, Robotics, Math Pentathlon, UIL, National History Day, RRISD Community Education, and Lonestar Mensa.

The Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students states in section 2.3A (Program Design) that "School Districts, when possible, shall provide out-of-school options relevant to the student's area of strength." Round Rock ISD supports the involvement of our advanced and gifted students in numerous programs and organizations which offer to meet the needs of these learners outside the regular school curriculum. Campus participation in such programs is optional, but encouraged. Many programs rely on parents or teachers to serve as the sponsor or team manager and are open to the full campus population.

School Zone Safety Update

Did you know that the State of Texas passed a law that drivers can not use a cell phone in an active school zone? Williamson County will be enforcing this law, so please keep our students safe by not using a cell phone in a school zone when the lights are flashing!

After School Program

We will start running late busses on Tuesday, September 15th. Busses will run at 5:00pm for all after school programs (Summer School Now, New Directions, Tutorials, Clubs) on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday only. In order for a student to ride the late bus, then they must attend one of these programs, and get a pass from the teacher to ride the bus. Please note that we have one bus for the Wells Branch area and one bus for everyone else, so students may not get home until 6:00pm.
