STUDENT ENGAGEMENT SURVEY
FPS TEXT MESSAGES UPDATE
In early May, we started utilizing text messaging to families through our school messaging system. At the time, we sent out a form to fill out if anyone had issues or did not receive that initial text message. Thank you to all the parents that filled out the form.
After investigating why there were some issues, we worked with our vendor to resolve the majority of issues on the backend and also made it so our families do not have to reply with “Y” to that initial message. Therefore, no further action needs to take place from parents. As school starts back up in the fall, please make sure to verify we have your cell phone numbers correctly entered during the Back-To-School Online Check-In process you will complete for your child sometime in August. We will send a first message after school starts in September and shore up any issues at that time. And please note, anytime we send a time-sensitive message, we will also send a phone call and email so parents and guardians should not miss an important message.

FIELD DAY
The end of the school year is near, and that means the 2022 Robinwood Field Day will be upon us shortly! The field day is a non-competitive, all for fun event, where the students will rotate between stations with their grade level. It will take place on Thursday June 9th, Grades 3rd - 5th in the AM and Grades 5k - 2nd in the PM.

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION (Updated 5/20/22)
ATTENTION 5TH GRADE PARENTS
The Wisconsin Student Immunization law requires that all students entering the 6th grade receive a dose of Tdap vaccine. To be compliant with the school law, parents must provide their child’s school with proof of immunization or claim a waiver.
What to do:
Have your child vaccinated with Tdap vaccine if he or she has not already received the vaccine. Record the date of the immunization in the appropriate box on the attached student immunization record, sign the form, and return it to Robinwood. To claim a waiver for health, religious, or personal conviction reasons, follow the instructions on the student immunization record and return the signed form to your child’s school.
If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
