Welcome to the second issue of the Roadrunner Report. We've officially made it through our first month of the school year! Can you believe it's already November?!

I love this time of year because I love nothing more than curling up under a blanket on my couch with my dog on my lap, reading a book and drinking coffee, tea, or hot cocoa.

Growing up, I always spent Thanksgiving with my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins in Pennsylvania. It was the one time of year we could all be together. Thanksgiving holds a special place in my heart and is a time to think about everything and everyone I am fortunate to have in my life.

Even though Thanksgiving will look different this year, since I will be celebrating without my extended family and friends, I am still thankful that my family still has each other and our health.

What activities do you look forward to in the fall? What are you thankful for this year? I would love to hear from you! Send me an email and you might be featured in next month's newsletter. I miss you all!

Cheers,

Mrs. Rice

Students should be receiving their report cards soon. If your child received an 'Incomplete' in any classes, talk to your child's teacher about how to make up work and receive credit for the first marking period. You can also view your child's grades in SchoolTool.

Mr. Komarisky is an art teacher here at Roberts PreK-8.

His name is easy to say; it's pronounced like this: "comma-risky".

Here is a picture of his family! --->

He has been making art since he was able to handle a pencil. (Check out one of his masterpieces below.)

He also teaches chess, helps run the student government (selling ice cream 😉), and creates the yearbook!

The next Roberts FTO meeting will be either Monday, November 23rd or Tuesday, November 24th. Please vote in the Facebook poll with which day would work best for your family.

Once a date is chosen, another poll will be posted to the Roberts Facebook Group in order to choose a time.

Meetings are being held virtually through Facebook Rooms until it is safe for us to all be together. Make sure to join the Facebook Group to stay up-to-date on all things FTO!

Attention 8th grade students and families! The High School Choice process, like everything else, will look different this year.

1. Explore the options offered throughout SCSD's four high schools.
2. Apply to your desired program(s) and rank your choices
3. Interview with the high school/program(s) of your choice
4. Receive acceptance into a high school program
   
5. Roberts students who do not choose a specialized program will go to Corcoran High School for 9th-12th grades.

More details will be forthcoming from the district. Ms. Griffin is also here to help students throughout the process and will be attending 8th grade classes to provide more information as it becomes available.
