We were delighted to honor our veterans day at our Veteran’s Day Assembly. Thank you to all veterans who have served and a special shoutout to those in attendance at today’s assembly and within our school’s community. Below are a few photos we wanted to share from today’s assembly.

Please click here to see the Veteran's pictures up close.

Please click on the video below for a Veteran's Day Message from our Robinwood Students.

Additionally, as conferences are coming up and teachers are looking forward to meeting with families to share the wonderful progress learners have made so far this year, we wanted to provide additional ways to support your learner’s progress outside of the classroom. Here are two resources to guide you:

Literacy Tools for Caregivers

Math Tools for Caregivers

Supporting your child(ren) at home can look many different ways. It could be reading together and discussing the text or writing notes to each other at home to practice organization, sentence structure, and spelling. It could also be doing a puzzle together to develop their spatial reasoning skills or a board game to build numeracy in mathematics. Support at home can be fun and engaging for the whole family!

Warm regards,

Lydia Sesing

Monday, Nov 11 - Friday, Nov 15 - Please help us celebrate our Veteran's!

Our Family Information Series continues this year in November with a session that focuses on understanding the digital world that children are growing up in. These sessions are not only open to FPS families, but to neighboring communities as well so please share where appropriate.

• How to Reach, Teach, & Support iGeneration Students: This session will be led by Katey McPherson, Child Advocate & Education Consultant and take place Forest Park Middle School in the Commons (map here) on Tuesday, November 12th @ 6pm.

In addition, this same session is also running in the Pewaukee Schools the day after ours. See their current flyer here for more details.

School is underway and kids are learning, growing and adjusting to a new routine and expectations. Paying attention to your child’s emotional well-being is a focus of the student services staff of Franklin Public Schools. For more information on mental health in children see HERE.

If you feel your child might benefit from further support, FPS has partnered with Clinical Psychology Associates (CPA), who has established counseling clinics in Pleasant View and Country Dale Elementary Schools available to provide further support and establish a process of therapy. All children in Franklin elementary schools have access to these services. For more information, please see our website. Appointments are scheduled directly with CPA staff by calling or texting (262) 251-1112.

Our Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday, November 14th and Thursday, November 21st from 4:30-8:00 p.m. Please click here to sign up.

Please click here to see pictures of the items in our lost and found. We will be purging lost and found items more often so it’s important for children to keep close tabs on their belongings. It is also suggested that if possible, student items be labeled with the first and last name on it so that we can get it back to the student if it becomes lost. All items not picked up after 2 weeks will be donated.

Robinwood has snow bags available for $8.00 each. If you would like to purchase one please send exact cash or make a check payable to Robinwood PTO to the school office. These are great bags to hold snow pants, mittens, hats, boots, & any other winter gear. If you purchase a bag, the office will write your students last name on it unless you let us know otherwise.

Toys for Tots

The Franklin High School Child Development II students will be sponsoring “Saber Pre-school” for children ages 3 to 5 on various days in December.

Saber Pre-school is designed for children ages 3 to 5 who are toilet trained and ready to experience a supportive and enriching pre-school environment. The student teachers prepare daily lesson plans that not only provide opportunities for the Little Sabers to develop socially, but also to enhance their kindergarten readiness skills. The Saber Pre-school program offers a truly excellent experience for both our big and small students.

Class time will be from 9:00 to 10:15 am and tuition is $20 to cover the cost of materials and snacks for the entire 3 weeks. Saber Pre-school will include story time, large and small group activities, free time, songs and other fun activities. Pre-registration is required. Registration closes when we hit 25 participants or by Friday, November 15th at the latest. If you know someone who has a child ages 3-5, please help us by sharing this message to them!

The FHS Fall Play is fast approaching with shows taking place Thurs 11/14 through Sun 11/17. For tickets and show information, please visit the Saber Center website here.

Show Description: Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it almost doesn’t exist. One cold, clear, winter night, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine, find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.

Join Character Kids for our fun-filled After School Theater Classes at Robinwood! The Winter Session runs Mondays, 4-5 pm, December 9 - March 3 (10 weeks, no class 12/23, 12/30 or 1/20). Students will explore new stage skills, theater games and performance material at each session; so new and returning students are welcome! Parents are invited to a special performance on the last day of class. Focus is put on developing imagination, social skills and a positive self-image through the performing arts. Visit our website for more info or to register.
