Welcome to Fifth Grade

Hello. 
I would like to informally introduce myself. I am Victoria Bahr. Though new to Roberts, I already feel at home with Roberts Team and cannot wait to meet each one of you. Here is a little background on myself. I have been a teacher for a few years (10 plus), first in Dallas then Chicago and now in Houston. I am very excited for the new school year. See you tonight.

Just a few reminders:


VIPS (Volunteers in Public Schools)
All school volunteers must be registered with HISD VIPS, which runs an annual background check. If you were cleared previously through the VIPS Program, you only need to bring a photo ID to the reception desk to be reactivated. If you have never been cleared through VIPS before, please complete the VIPS registration as soon as possible. The background check can take 2-3 weeks to complete and you must be cleared before you can volunteer in the school.
Classroom Volunteer
To volunteer in the classroom, sign up on the Roberts PTO website to help with Room Parent, Field Trip Chaperone, Holiday Parties, Room Gardener, and more. 
School Volunteer
To volunteer for school wide events like Carnival, International Festival and more, please sign up here
