Important Beginning of the School Year
Information from the District:
Enroll Online
Round Rock ISD launched its new online enrollment system, giving parents the option to enroll returning students online. The new system, InfoSnap, offers an simple and time saving option for online enrollment.
Parents can visit roundrockisd.org/enroll to access the system. A unique snapcode for each student was emailed or mailed to families this month and parents must have the specific codes to register.
Check Bus Routes
Parents can visit RoundRockISD.org/BusRoutes and use the Transfinder system to determine their student’s pick-up and drop-off times. The system requires parents to enter their home address and select their child’s school.
Bus numbers will now reflect route numbers. In the event that a substitute bus is being used, the permanent bus and route number will be displayed on the placard on the side of the bus.
Students who require special transportation may not have their routes entered into the system. Those parents can contact their child’s campus or the Round Rock ISD transportation department at 512-428-2450
Because new students will continue to register for school throughout the first few weeks, parents are encouraged to regularly check their student’s route information. Students are asked to be ready at least five minute prior to their bus’s arrival time.
Food Services
Menu:
Your cafe menu's are complete and available online, including the picture menu. This years menu offers an expanded selection of innovative recipes that students will find tasty and parents will consider nutritious. It's important to us that our students and their families know we serve quality products, scratch make many of our meal components and freshly prepare onsite in our kitchens. We support the district nutrition education policy by including CATCH messaging on the menu. Menu entrees are color coded to indicate Go, Slow & Whoa options, making the healthy choice the easy choice.
Meal Prices:
Food costs determine meal prices. Student lunch prices increased 10 cents to $2.50. Adult lunch prices increase 5 cents to $3.30. Student breakfast pricing remains the same at $1.35. Adult breakfast prices are $2.25.
Meal Funds:
On August 14th Food Services emailed families their student's Food Service PIN#. Students will either need to key in this number or swipe the barcode on their student ID to purchase meals or snacks in the school cafeteria. If students forget their Food Service PIN #, they will be able to access it, starting on the first day of school, in Home Access Center (https://roundrockisd.org/parents/home-access-center/). Cash is also accepted. Parents may add funds to student food service account(s) by sending a check to your school cafeteria made out to RRISD Food Service or by credit card at MySchoolBucks.com. There is a minimal transaction fee to add money to a student’s account utilizing the online service, but there is no charge to set up low balance alerts or to view account activity.
Free Breakfast:
The first week of school student breakfast will be served FREE.
Allergy Form:
The Food Service website now has a comprehensive allergy form available online. The link to the form is on the first page of the Food Service website. For your reference, here it is https://drive.google.com/a/roundrockisd.org/folderview?id=0Bw7OQnFeXGbeOEZtc2FuT1haSUk&usp=sharing The form has also been released on social media via the Food Services Twitter page at @FoodRRISD and on the district Facebook page.
Free & Reduced:
As a reminder students need to apply for free or reduced meals every year. If they were eligible last year their benefits will only be available the first 30 days from the beginning of the new school year. Only one application per household is necessary. Please encourage your eligible students to go online to enroll and most importantly to participate daily and enjoy nutritious, tasty breakfasts and lunches. The online form is available in English & Spanish.
Your Cafe manager takes great pride in serving quality, safe food to the students of RRISD. They all care deeply about the students and the school they serve. Please use them as a resource for any additional questions you have. Or if you prefer, you are always welcome to contact me directly.
