Principal's Message

Welcome to the 2025–2026 School Year!

It is with great joy and deep gratitude that I step into the role of principal at Roberts Elementary! Having served as the assistant principal for the last 7 years, I have had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the incredible teaching, learning, and community spirit that make Roberts such a special place. I am truly honored to continue serving our students, staff, and families in this new capacity.

At Roberts, we are committed to nurturing students who are curious, reflective, and compassionate learners. As an International Baccalaureate (IB) school, we encourage our children to be inquirers, communicators, and risk-takers—developing the critical thinking skills and global awareness that prepare them to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Roberts continues to shine as a school of academic excellence and community pride. Last year, our students demonstrated remarkable growth across all tested areas, including NWEA MAP and STAAR. Their success is a reflection of the dedication of our teachers, the hard work of our students, and the unwavering support of our families.

Our families are truly the heart of Roberts. Your partnership, whether through volunteering, supporting learning at home, or cheering on our students makes a lasting impact. Together, we create the warm, vibrant community that defines Roberts.

As I begin this new chapter as principal, my commitment remains the same: to ensure that every child feels seen, valued, and challenged to reach their full potential. Thank you for welcoming me into this role with your trust and support. I am excited to continue this journey together and can’t wait to see all the amazing things our students will accomplish this year!
