REPORT CARD INFORMATION
On Friday, December 11th, Trimester 1 Report Cards will be distributed for your child via email. Within the message will be a secure link to a pdf download of the Trimester 1 Report Card. There are a few steps you can take in preparation for the release of these report cards, in order to make the process a smooth one for you.
First, to access the report, you will need to click on the secure link within the body of the email. When you click on the link, you will be prompted to enter a password.
The password is your child’s student number. This number can be found by logging into your PowerSchool Parent Access account. Once logged into PowerSchool, it is the 6 digit number at the top center portion of the screen. It will begin with a 5. If you are unable to locate this number, please contact the building secretary at your child’s school.

TRADITION HERE AT ROBINWOOD
In order to showcase the many cultures that make up our Robinwood Family, we will again be displaying a Cultural Tree in the lobby outside of the library. We are asking interested families to donate a decoration to be placed on the tree. This item can be either purchased or handmade. It should however depict a part of your culture or native country. Please place any decorations in a bag with a note as to what holiday and country they represent. We will then label the items with a tag stating that information. These items will not be returned, they will be kept to be reused in following years.
Also, in keeping the spirit of giving alive, we will be having a New Hat and Glove/Mitten Drive. The items can be for children or adults. When the drive is over we will donate them to needy families in our community.
You may begin to bring in your items after the Thanksgiving Break (Tuesday, December 1st) up until December 16th.
The items can be sent with your child or dropped off in the office.
Thank you for helping us continue our tradition!

CHILD DEVELOPMENT DAYS
ATTENDANCE REMINDER
This year we started a new process of reporting ANY absence including leaving early and arriving late on a google form. HERE is the link to report absences.
DRESS FOR THE WEATHER
Wisconsin weather is upon us! Please make sure your son/daughter is dressed appropriately for outdoor recess. Coats and hats are necessary for the impending cold weather. However, this being Wisconsin, it can become warm and sunny by noontime. Please remind your child if they choose to remove their jacket during recess they are to be tied around their waist and not left on the playground. The decision to have an outdoor or indoor recess is based on both the wind speed and temperature at 11:30 am. If it is an outside recess day, all students must go outdoors.
Clothing
All students are expected to go outside for recess whenever the wind chill is above 0 degrees. Please be sure your child is dressed for the weather. This includes a warm coat, mittens or gloves, hats, scarves, snow pants & boots when there is snow. Please write the students name on all items.
New this Year:
As you are aware, our recess looks different keeping classroom cohorts together in assigned areas throughout the playground. This includes three grassy areas that will become snow when the winter weather starts. This means ALL students will be expected to have boots and snow pants during the weeks they are assigned to the snowy areas.

VIRTUAL HOLIDAY SHOP
Robinwood Families,
We hope that you’re all doing well and staying safe and healthy. We miss seeing our friends and their smiling faces so much this school year. In an effort to try to do some ‘normal’ things that our students are used to, we have developed a VIRTUAL HOLIDAY SHOP this year! We wanted to give our students the opportunity to shop for their loved ones, friends, teachers and even their pets during this unusual time. The virtual store is OPEN NOW! We will be keeping it open through December 7th. This will give our elves plenty of time to receive the gifts, organize and distribute before the holiday break. What happens if school closes due to Covid-19? No problem, our PTO will work closely with our holiday shop company to obtain all orders and a contactless pickup will be developed for all families to retrieve gifts. All gifts will have special packaging that will make it easy for the kids to wrap and label on their own. All gifts and supplies will be handled with extreme caution and safety measures. Money raised from our holiday shop will help support our PTO’s mission for the 2020-2021 school year in helping aid the Covid crisis with supplies and supplemental needs for our students and staff throughout the year. If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out our PTO at rwk6pto@gmail.com . The shop is open to all of our in-school and virtual students, families and staff.
