Robison Elementary Rocket Register

Thank you to everyone who attended Curriculum Night last Tuesday. This week our 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade parents are invited! The format for these evenings will be a presentation, not a come-and-go event. This is an opportunity to hear what your child will be learning and resources for parents. You'll also experience what their day is like by learning what their daily schedule is. For our students who switch teachers, parents will have the opportunity to visit their other classroom(s). Attending this event ensures that you will be set up to receive regular communication from the teacher, and it will help to set up a positive partnership with your child's teacher(s). We appreciate taking the time to attend.

This year we have some incentives for students whose parents attend Curriculum Nights. You'll scan a QR code to "sign in".

• Students will receive 5 RISE bucks if a parent/guardian attends.
• 6 students per grade level will have their name drawn for lunch on the stage with a friend.
• 3 students per grade level will have their name drawn for a book from the book vending machine.
• The class from each grade level with the highest participation rate will earn a sneaky recess!

Congratulations to our 5th grade class for having the highest attendance rate (97.6%) for last week!

Attendance is taken at 10:35 am every day. If your child is here at that time, they are counted present. If your child leaves and returns for a doctor appointment, and they miss the 10:35 am attendance time, the absence will be reversed, as long as a doctor's note is presented.

THIS LINK includes some favorite things of our staff. If you'd like to see what your child's teacher or a particular staff member favors, you can find this on the link. There is a link with a bitmoji in the last column that might not open due to the settings; however, everything else is accessible.

Please take a moment to label items that could possibly be left behind...water bottles, jackets, and lunch kits. You would be amazed at the number of items that end up in our Lost and Found. Unfortunately, most go unclaimed, and then they are donated. If these items are labeled, we are able to return them to our students. A water bottle was left on a bus in the morning, and the bus driver noticed it after all students unloaded. The child's name was on the water bottle, and it was returned to her that morning. This child was so relieved, and the teacher said she was worried about it. As simple as it sounds, something like this could have made a child upset or anxious, but it was prevented because the water bottle was labeled. We also know how expensive these items are, and we want to prevent you from having to replace these items.

So, please LABEL, LABEL, LABEL!!

Free and Reduced Meals

This year, grace period ends on September 30th. This means all students who qualified for Free/Reduced meals last year AND have not completed an application this year, will revert to PAID meals.

Please see the links below for more information. The links include flyers in English, Spanish and Vietnamese and a paper application form if you prefer instead of the online application.

Student birthdays are recognized on our daily announcement slides.

If you'd like to have your child's birthday celebrated at school, we offer parents the opportunity to purchase ice cream or cookies from the cafeteria to be distributed to their child's class during lunch. In order for our cafeteria to prepare for this, you must give at least one week's notice. You may email michelle.mendiola@cfisd.net if you are interested.

We are unable to allow students to hand out birthday invitations at school or to hand out birthday treats in the classrooms.

With our new electronic marquee, parents and guardians will have the option of purchasing a Birthday Marquee Message. Once our staff has been trained on the marquee and all details have been decided, we will communicate this information to you. Stay tuned!
