Oran M. Roberts Elementary

If you would like to be considered for the position of Recording Secretary for the PTO next year, please email Denise Smith ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) by Friday, March 12, 2010. As stated in the Roberts PTO bylaws, the Recording Secretary “shall keep an accurate permanent record of all meetings of the organization and of the Board and shall prepare these minutes for reading at each meeting."

Our current Recording Secretary had originally planned to serve the second year of her two-year term; however, she has decided that she would like to be considered for another position. Therefore the Nominations Committee is now accepting nominations for someone to serve the remaining one year term.

The 2009 - 2010 Memory Book is now on sale. This year's edition will include 84 full color pages, individual student pictures with names, school events and performances, Extended Day activities, and best of all, it is being created by students! Curious as to what it will look like? Just stop by the Main Office for a sneak preview! Deadline is being extended to March 12, 2010 in order for you to get a glimpse of this year's book. Cost for this full color book is $30.00. Forms are available online, and in the Main Office. Don't miss out on this opportunity to capture your child's 2009-2010 school year at Roberts!

I turned in my reservation form - Where are my tickets?
Don't worry - all you need to do is come to the check-in table and we will get you set for the auction and party.

Where do I park?
We will have signs and balloons to help you get to the garage. Follow the signs for "Roberts Elementary" and they will take you to the Ley student center and central parking garage. Here is a map of the campus as well - www.rice.edu/maps/maps.html<http://www.rice.edu/maps/maps.html>. Once inside the parking garage, take a ticket. We will give you a parking validation when you check-in; it is included in your ticket price.
