MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
The votes are in and we will now be known as the Robinwood Jaguars!!!!! Next in the “reboot” of Robinwood we will be creating a Jaguar logo. Once we have a few logos drawn up we will have another vote to decide on the winner.
We look forward to seeing families in the building for parent/teacher conferences and our book fair.
Our final numbers are in for our donations for Robinwood Rush, as you may know we surpassed our goal of $25,000. I am blown away by all your generosity! Thank you Robinwood Families. An additional shout out goes to the PTO and those who have organized, volunteered and made the Robinwood Rush a huge success. The students here at Robinwood are very lucky to have such passionate and dedicated families support their education with these fun events!
PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCE SIGN UP
CHANNEL 12 DAJI ASWAD METEOROLOGIST VISITS WITH 4TH GRADERS 10/27/22
Daji Aswad, WISN WeatherWatch 12 Meteorologist visited our 4th graders to talk about her job, predicting the weather, tools used to help with those predictions and understanding the differences between a Watch vs Warning!
She shared with us some of her insight on what it is like forecasting the weather and working in the studio with a green screen.
Learning about tornado safety was really important. Where do you go when there is a tornado warning? If you are not sure, ask a Robinwood 4th grader!

YOUR CHILD’S EMERGENCY CONTACTS
After the lockdown incident at Franklin High School last week, we examined and reviewed how quickly the messages were getting to families after we sent them. The time for messages to move from us to parents during that incident experienced a small lag. After reviewing this with our messaging provider, we learned of a more efficient way to send messages out during emergencies. As Monday came around and FPMS went into lockdown, evacuation and reunification, the district emergency broadcasts that went out not only went to listed parents/guardians, but also to any “emergency contacts” that are associated with your child(ren) as listed in PowerSchool. Sending these as emergency level messages allows for the emails and phone calls to go out quicker through the system.
We share this with you so you understand that there may be times where your emergency contacts will receive information from us in situations like this. Please share this knowledge with your emergency contacts so they are in the know. We always work to identify ourselves as “Franklin Public Schools” when sending messages. If you wish to change your emergency contacts, you can connect with the main office staff at your child’s school.

AFTER SCHOOL THEATER CLASSES @ RW
YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINING OPPORTUNITY
As part of the School-Based Mental Health Grant we received as a district, we are excited to offer a Fall and Spring opportunity to train parents, guardians and community members in Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA). Our first training opportunity will occur on December 6th from 4:00-8:30 PM. During the YMHFA course, participants develop an understanding of the unique risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems in youth, the importance of early intervention, and how to help an adolescent in crisis or experiencing a mental health challenge. Participants will engage in a 2-hour self-paced course followed by a 4.5 hour in-person session with a district trainer. If you are interested in engaging in this Fall training, please complete this form no later than November 4th. A confirmation email will be sent to finalize your enrollment in the course and next steps. Please note this is the same course we offered last year, so please only sign up if you have not yet been certified.
