A huge thank you to Daniel and the team at Maldonado Martial Arts for organizing a school supply drive to support our students!

📚 Ringtails Read Everywhere! 📚
We’re kicking off a brand-new monthly family reading challenge! Each month, Ringtails will get a new, fun way to make reading part of their everyday lives.
💜 SEPTEMBER CHALLENGE: Read in a Silly Spot!
Build a blanket fort, climb into a laundry basket, hide under a table, read upside down—get creative! Find a silly spot, grab a book, and snap a picture of your Ringtail reading.
📸 Submit your photo using the QR code on the flyer or email it to redbud_library@roundrockisd.org. Please include your student’s name and teacher.
We’ll display our photos at school and celebrate all the places our Ringtails read! 💚📖

We are so excited that our very own Mrs. Johnson won a special giveaway from our friends at the Round Rock Children's Therapy Center! The organization hosted a nomination and drawing for one teacher winner, and Mrs. Johnson was gifted a beautiful bouquet of flowers and an Amazon gift card. She is so deserving!
We’re looking for a Cafeteria Monitor to join our amazing crew! If you enjoy working with kids, being part of a fun school community, and helping keep lunchtime running smoothly, we’d love to have you!
A quick reminder as we get back into our school routine: our arrival and dismissal procedures are in place for a reason—safety AND efficiency! Please take a few minutes to watch our video again and make sure everyone who drops off or picks up your child knows the procedures.
🚗 One important car rider reminder: If you need to get out of your vehicle to buckle or fasten your child into their car seat, please pull forward past the cones and park before doing so. Stopping in the loading area holds up the entire line.
Thank you for doing your part to keep our students safe and our lines moving. When everyone follows the procedures, everything runs much more smoothly!
