Calling All JROB Runners!
We've had interest from various teachers, staff, and families in training with our Cross Country Track Team, so Ms. Jones would love to extend the invitation to our JROB Dolphins to train with our Cross Country Track team! See info below:
Practices are every day except Wednesday from 2:30-3:30. We warm up before running around the perimeter of the school (one lap is equivalent to 0.5 miles and we run 2 to 6 laps). Everyone runs at their own pace and it just feels great to get out and soak up the sun so I hope to see some new faces out there! Our last day is Thursday, May 16th, but I'm happy to continue if people are interested.
Attendance
CLEARING ABSENCES:
Parents/guardians must clear all absences within 5 school days. After this time, parents/guardians must contact the school administrator for approval.
To clear your child’s absence, contact your child’s school. A parent/guardian can also send a note with their child or click on the link below to access the digital absence form online
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd32s2LG84M9Ut_9SRd6e_mQmMdIPsMafiocLPl0JICYvmWAQ/viewform. This form is also located on Robinson's website.
- Parents/guardians must clear all absences within 5 school days. After this time, parents/guardians must contact the school administrator for approval.
- The LBUSD allows parents to excuse up to three (3) consecutive days or ten (10) illness absences in the school year without verification of illness from a medical professional or school employee (School Nurse). Anytime your child has a doctor’s appointment and/or documentation requiring them to stay home from school, provide this verification immediately to the attendance office when your student returns to school. These absences will be recorded as excused. If verification is not provided, the child's absence will be recorded as unexcused until documentation is received. Per district policy, absences extending beyond the three (3) day consecutive rule or ten (10) illness absences in the school year will be considered unexcused, unless a parent/guardian provides a doctor’s verification to the school. If a student suffers from a chronic condition that may affect their attendance, a parent can submit a Certification of Chronic Medical Condition Form, so that absences related to the illness can be excused.
During the 2023-24 school year, illnesses can also be cleared through documentation of positive COVID-19 cases from a doctor’s office, health department, lab or home test. If a student is ill or is exhibiting any COVID-19 symptoms, they should stay home and notify the school. The school’s parent notification system will contact you when your child is absent ( if you have requested notifications via phone or email).
Our district is offering a Summer Program beginning 6/24-8/15 from 8:00-5:00pm at various school sites throughout the district. Click on the link to access the registration flyer for more information. Space is limited so register as soon as possible. https://bit.ly/3JnQ7bz
