Have you applied for Free or Reduced lunch for this year yet? Click here to do it now! Families must re-apply every year to continue qualifying.

Free/Reduced Lunch Rollover services from last year end next week on Thursday, September 25th. That means that if your child had these services last year and has not applied and re-qualified this year, those services will end Thursday. They will be charged for lunch starting then.

We recommend every family fill out the form as the qualifiers often change. It is a quick and easy process and you don't want to miss out on savings!

Round Rock ISD is committed to the well-being of all our students. Round Rock ISD Board Goal Four measures student perceptions of Sense of Belonging, Safety at School, and Student Self-Efficacy. Since 2023, the district has used a survey from Panorama Education to help us understand these perceptions.

In previous years, parents could opt-out of this survey. However, with the passage of Senate Bill 12, your student must be opted-in for them to participate.

Our district values input from our community and we want to hear from your child(ren) so that we may learn about their experiences. While we encourage your student’s participation in the survey so that we use the data to make informed decisions about increasing our student’s sense of belonging in RRISD, we also believe in your right to make the choice that is best for your student and family.

On September 19, 2025, you should have received an email from Round Rock ISD with the subject line of “Action Required: Panorama Student Survey Consent” The link embedded in the email will take you to a form to either Opt-In or Opt-Out for your student’s participation in the Panorama Survey.

To review the questions on the survey, please click on the links below.
- 3rd-5th Grades: Student Perception and Climate
- 6th-12th Grades: Competencies and Climate

The survey will be administered during the weeks of October 6-17 (Fall Survey) and March 2-13 (Spring Survey). To give your consent for your student to take the survey, please make your selection by September 29, 2025.

This report is required by the Texas Legislature and prepared by the Texas Education Agency. The report provides information concerning student performance on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®), College, Career, and Military Readiness, as well as information on student enrollment, class size averages, and financial expenditures. Due to judicial proceedings, the release of the 2023 School Report Card was significantly delayed. All 2023 Texas School Report Cards can be found online at: TEA School Report Card. A more complete report about Forest North Elementary, the Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR), can be accessed online at: Texas Academic Report Cards.

Alongside our 2023 School Report Card, we encourage you to visit TXschools.gov to learn more about our school’s performance in the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years.

Connect with our Second Step SEL Curriculum

Round Rock ISD utilizes the Second Step program as a Social-Emotional Learning curriculum. The lessons help children learn human skills such as responsible decision-making, working together to solve problems, managing strong emotions, and getting along with others. These skills can help children succeed academically and socially. Our first Second Step units began this week. For each grade, there is a Home Link flyer with more information about the lesson themes and things to try at home to support this important learning. Click the links here to access Home Links for your child's grade.
