School Colors, Mascot, and Motto

School Colors: Green and White

Communications

There are labeled boxes and mail baskets outside the ASP office for most PTO-related communications material. Any information, questions, forms and any appropriate communications can be placed in these boxes and baskets at any time during the day. Information can also be dropped off in the front office. Any communications for ROE staff can be left with the front office staff to be placed in the appropriate mail box. Every Tuesday, students take home green folders with school-related and other relevant information. The Greensheet, a weekly newsletter, contains the latest news, information and notices for the school community and is one of the publications that goes home in the green folder. PTO flyers that are to go in the green folders should be approved by the principal prior to mass printing.

The printed and online directories contain parent contact details as a convenience to other parents. This information is provided for your personal use. No commercial or solicitation use of any kind is approved or permitted. This information may not be published in any format or distributed to anyone.

Room Parents are the liaison between teachers and their class parents. If you send an email to more than one recipient at a time, use yourself as the sole To address and place all other recipients in the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) field. Use of the BCC field hides the list of recipients and precludes harvesting email addresses from the email.

The ROE Store sends periodic mass email to all parents registered at the store with information about online logins, ASP online registration, school directory updates, and PTO events/items available for purchase. To ensure these emails are not put in your junk email folder, add no-reply@myschoolvalet.com to your safe list.

Parking

Parking space is a scarce resource around ROE. Parking is permitted in the circle drive in front of the school and along Avalon Place except during arrival and dismissal. Obey all NO PARKING signs/times posted. Parking on Avalon Place is restricted (read signs carefully). The parking lot behind the school is reserved for ROE staff and after-school program staff. There are a few parking spots along the back fence near the playground that visitors may use. These parking spots are marked for Visitors.

Facilities

There is a work area available for volunteers at the rear of the cafeteria. Training is offered to work the designated copy machines. The teachers’ lounge is reserved for ROE staff only. Please note that there are designated bathrooms for adults – locations of these bathrooms are indicated on maps posted by bathroom doors.

Telephones

Office phones are available for school-related business. There are only three lines available so please be courteous.

Photocopying

A copy machine is available in the volunteer and school work areas for PTO or other school business. When large amounts of copying are required, plan ahead to ensure that a copy machine is available. Contacting the office in writing is helpful. Follow school guidelines for copying.

From time to time, our school must do large volume copying, such as for the school newsletter, Volunteer booklets, and special announcements. We welcome donations (time and/or materials for 700+ copies) from businesses on a one-time or regular basis.

Visitors

We welcome visitors to our school. All visitors need to sign in at the school office and wear a name tag (provided when you sign in) during his/her entire visit. This will assist us with our security at the school. We request that all adult visitors use only designated bathrooms, which are indicated on maps posted next to bathroom doors.

Volunteers

ROE is proud of our very active parent volunteers. There are numerous activities organized by the PTO and there is always something to do at ROE. Volunteer names are funneled to the appropriate committee member. If you volunteer for a job and are not contacted, call the person in charge, the Volunteer Chair, or the school office.

Please remember to sign in when you are at school as a volunteer. The amount of time you spent on a project is also needed. This pertains to any volunteer activities in the building (eg. reading, conferences, office support, PTO meetings etc) as well as outside ROE (eg. crafts projects, telephoning etc.). We keep track of the accumulated volunteer hours and submit this information monthly to the HISD VIPS office. It is important to get credit for all the volunteer hours that we put in at ROE.

Volunteers must register in the office and always wear a name badge/tag.
