YOU Well-being survey results identify Round Rock ISD employees’ top needs
In May, we asked staff to offer input into what they wanted and needed from the YOU employee Well-being program. Round Rock ISD’s YOU Well-being program provides employee education and activities that promote a healthy lifestyle and workplace culture. Physical, mental, social, and financial well-being needs are the four parts of YOU.
Thank you to the staff who participated in our YOU survey. Your critical feedback will guide our continuing efforts to construct a program designed especially for YOU. Successful health and well-being programs benefit everyone. And we recognize that our employee’s well-being is vital to the success and an integral part of our organization’s culture.

And it starts with ALL of us – teachers, educational assistants, custodians, food service workers, counselors, nurses, office staff, librarians, human resources, operations, safety and security, administrators, technology, and transportation to provide a stable, welcoming learning environment where students develop crucial life skills.
“It Starts With Us” clearly and consistently encapsulates our District’s unified cause to support and serve students, putting them at the core of our decisions and actions.
