What is the PTO?

Parents are welcome and encouraged to become an active part of the Roberts family. 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.

The PTO President for 2007 is Carol Tindall. Read her welcome letter introducing you to some of the activities and active PTO parents.

The Roberts Family Sponsor Program supports families of Roberts Elementary who are seeking treatment at the Texas Medical Center. Addressing a critical illness can be overwhelming for a family, particularly when combined with the introduction of a new city, a new school, a different culture, and a foreign language. The Roberts Family Sponsor Program utilizes volunteer families interested in welcoming and supporting these families.

Transportation Center Stage is a major buildings and grounds fundraiser and improvement project that has landscaped the school, created an outdoor performance stage and developed educational gardens.
