Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do students wear uniforms?
Kindergarten students do not wear uniforms. All other students are required to wear blue and white as described in the dress code of the parent handbook.

2. How do I get involved at St. Robert School?
The Home & School Association has volunteer opportunities that can fit into anyone's schedule - jobs that are large or small, take a few hours or many hours, take place days, evenings or weekends, so that parents can select their own level of involvement. We believe that everyone - kids, parents, and the school benefits when parents are involved. Parents are asked to volunteer for 2 activities during the year. You are encouraged to become more involved by joining a committee or more activities. Sign up forms are distributed in May.

3. What is the Host Family Program?
The Host Family Program is a way for us to welcome you to the St. Robert community and help you get to know other parents. Each new family is paired with a current family with children in the same grade. Your host family should contact you to answer your questions and invite you to the first few school functions.
