Greetings Robb Family!
Spring has sprung, and with it comes the vibrant energy of new beginnings and exciting end-of-year events here at Robb Elementary! As we step into the month of April, it's a pleasure to welcome you to another edition of our monthly newsletter.
This month, we have an array of activities, achievements, and important updates to share with you. From budding academics to blossoming friendships, there's plenty to celebrate as we continue our journey through the school year.
As always, we encourage you to stay connected and engaged with our school community, and remember to check out all the fantastic end-of-year events posted on Class DOJO under "Next Event" and "View All".
Thank you so much for your incredible support and efforts in getting your child(ren) to school as often as possible. The world is run by those who show up!
We can't wait to see all the things the staffulty and students at Robb accomplish together as we wrap up the 2023-2024 school year.

Federal Programs
April Federal Programs Updates
You may be contacted by your school's Policy 917/918 team to participate in our Spring committee meeting. We are required to make sure that we maintain open communication between the schools and a variety of stakeholders to review federal programs information and receive feedback. If you are interested in participating, we are always looking for community members who want to be involved in reviewing our data and our plans and want to have input. If you are interested in joining our team, please complete this form to help us maintain a communication list of willing Stakeholders to turn to when we need input.
Title I funds follow the students. When our students attend a nonpublic school, our school funds are allocated on a per pupil basis to the nonpublic school to support any students who have an academic need who would have attended a KCSD school. We work with our nonpublic schools to help support our students, because no matter where they attend, students who reside within the boundaries of KCSD are our students.
Our original allocation for this school year for Title I was $1,550,476. The reallocation just came out March 13, 2024, and that number was reduced to $1,549.039.
Title II funds are designed to support the teachers. We use Title II funds for professional development in areas such as mathematics, English/Language Arts, and social-emotional learning.
Our original allocation for this school year for Title II was $163,939. The reallocation just came out March 13, 2024, and that number was reduced to $160,680.
At all school levels, we use Title IV federal funds to purchase incentives for PBIS (our positive school-wide behavior supports) rewards, and we emphasize the goal of following school rules in all schools. Our original allocation was and remains $127,334.
