Information is sent home regularly concerning the PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) and the VIPS (Volunteers in Public Schools) programs. The PTO coordinates and sponsors at least two major fund raisers each year to provide teachers with additional resources. The Roberts VIPS program was recognized as being the Most Outstanding VIPS Program in HISD's Central Area. Roberts parents are involved and devote more than 4,500 hours per year to the school.
