7th Grade Immunizations

Just a reminder that students going into 7th grade will need evidence of one dose of Tdap regardless of Td history.

Spring TCAP Dates

Students will begin taking TCAP during the week of April 14th and finish during the week of April 28th. Students in grades 3-6 will take ELA the week of April 14th, Math during the week of April 21st, and Science during the week of April 28th. Sixth grade students will also take Social Studies during the week of April 28th.

Ready, Set, Here We Grow

Students will be working toward an effort and growth-based reward during the month of April called Ready, Set, Here We Grow. Students will be recognized in class when showing their best effort and receive stamps on their personal game board. Students who fill their game board will be invited to this TCAP celebration. This day will be held on Friday, May 2nd. Students can earn a combination of rewards including snow cones, a trip to the park, extended recess, and bounce houses. Please remember that this is effort and growth-based and encourage your student to show up each day and give their best effort.

Tardies

If your student arrives at school later than 7:15am, you must park and come into the front office to sign them in. You may not drop your child off and have them walk in alone. Students need to arrive on time each day.

Attendance

When your student is out, please remember to send a doctor or parent note when they return to school so that absences may be marked excused.

3rd Grade Parents

In third grade, students have a goal to solidify their ability to read fluently and comprehend what they read. By the end of third grade, we want them to be ready to apply their reading skills to standards-based tasks, such as determining the main idea of a text and explaining how the details support the main idea. This additional layer of learning can be challenging for students in third grade. Some ways that you can support your students are by having them read the same passage over and over to build fluency, practice sounding out words together, and by asking them questions about what they are reading.

Cafeteria Information

Cafeteria menus can be found by going to:

School Menus - Robertson County Schools

*Visitors will not be allowed to eat lunch in the cafeteria this year due to limited space in the cafeteria.

Approved Calendars

The Robertson County School Board has approved a revised calendar for the 2025-2026 school year and a final calendar for the 2026-2027 school year. Please see those attached below.

Robertson County students participated in benchmark testing to predict readiness for the end of the year TCAP assessment. Our final benchmarks were given this past week. Please be on the lookout for your student's scores later this month (after Spring Break).
