MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
This time of year comes with a lot of mixed emotions for all parties involved; families, students, staff and even principals. It is sad to say bye to summer, but exciting to start a new school year. I hope to provide you with the reassurance that staff can not wait to meet you all and support your student to have a successful school year. Thank you for sharing Robinwood with me. I look forward to meeting you, learning about your family and building a stronger Robinwood family!
Jeannine Bombien
Robinwood Elementary Principal
START OF SCHOOL YEAR PLANNING
As a reminder, the first few days of school will include a staggered start for most grade levels. Please review the information below so you can best plan for your child(ren) and your family.
4K Students will have Get-To-Know-You Conferences on Thursday, September 1st and Friday, September 2nd where parents and their child can attend for a short meeting with the teacher. Then, 4K students will have a staggered start on Tuesday, September 6th or Wednesday, September 7th. Details about the conferences and staggered start will be shared during August.
For 5K through 8th Grade, we are doing a staggered start over the first two days of school on September 1st and 2nd similar to how we have done the last two school years. The staggered start provides opportunities, especially for our younger students, to work with teachers on these days to better understand school and classroom norms, technology expectations, safety protocols, lunch procedures, recess routines, bus arrival/departure processes, and more. The details of which students will attend which day are shown below.

Periodically, due to some food items not being available, please be patient and check the online lunch menus regularly for changes. We are expected to change menus multiple times a week due to issues we are facing. We appreciate your patience and look forward to seeing Franklin's students in a few weeks.
PLANNING FOR SCHOOL LUNCHES 2022-23
We want to remind families about what school lunch will look like for the 2022-23 school year. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that has been allowing students to receive free meals will no longer be offering this service for free next school year.
At the start of the 2022-23 school year, school lunches will no longer be free. Prices will remain the same as they were set for the 2020-21 school year.
We highly encourage families to continue to participate in the convenient, nutritious, and cost-friendly school meals. Our lunch webpage also contains our online lunch menus for all school buildings for the 2022-23 school year.
FREE & REDUCED PRICE MEALS FOR 2022-23
