Dear Round Rock ISD community,
It's wonderful to have our schools' classrooms and hallways filled again after the ice storm forced schools to close for a few days. We don't make the decision to close schools lightly. Our schools are safe, supportive spaces, and for some students, it's a place to have a trusted friend or staff member who regularly checks in on them. We also employ about 7,000 people who support their families working at our schools and facilities. However, the information we received from county officials and our operations teams made it clear that there was only one right choice.
I am overwhelmingly grateful to our district's first responders — our exceptional maintenance, operations, and law enforcement teams — who, despite treacherous conditions, worked tirelessly to safeguard our facilities and the people who depend on them. Kudos to our many teachers, administrators, and staff who pitched in to further clear sidewalks, pathways, and driveways.
McNeil and Stony Point High School FFA agriculture science students with livestock on campus also braved the inclement weather to care for their animals. Both schools have active FFA programs with on-site barn facilities, and rain, shine, or ice, these students ensure their animals receive the care and attention they need.
Just last week, several of these dedicated students earned top-five placements at the January Travis County Youth Livestock Show. I was incredibly proud to witness their leadership and sense of responsibility firsthand.
Choosing the right learning environment is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we do not take for granted the trust you place in our schools. From early learning through graduation, we're proud to offer a wide range of academic programs, enrichment opportunities, and pathways designed to meet the diverse needs, interests, and goals of every student.
Annual required forms for current Pre-K through grade 11 students returning in the fall are now available. If you’ve already completed your student’s forms, thank you! Submitting these forms for the upcoming school year helps us plan and prepare the best possible experience for your family. Even if you expect to change addresses before the new school year, please complete your student’s forms now. If you need help accessing your student's required annual forms, please get in touch with your school's registrar.
We’re grateful for your continued partnership and look forward to welcoming your student back this fall.
Respectfully,
Dr. Hafedh "AZ" Azaiez
Proud Superintendent of Schools
