BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION CONTEST(updated 5/9/22)
Help Our Earnings Grow! Box Tops Contest (April 18th – May 16th)
Current Contest Leader: Grade 1 - Wysocki
Robinwood’s Current Earnings: $286.20 (plus $0.50 in clipped Box Tops & $38.50 in pending adjustments)
Help us reach our $1,000 goal. Every Box Tops scan/clip is worth 10¢ and add up fast. There is a “garden” in the Robinwood entryway that is growing along with our earnings. Each Homeroom will earn a flower petal for every 10 Box Tops collected, meaning each flower petal represents a dollar earned for Robinwood! Keep scanning!!
The Homeroom with the biggest, most beautiful flower will win an EXTRA RECESS / 100% JUICE POPSICLE PARTY!! The teacher of the winning Homeroom will win a $25 Target Gift Card to add new books to the winning classroom and a $10 Starbucks Gift Card to enjoy a coffee while they shop to say thank you for all they do!!
If we can reach our $1,000 Goal, the Box Tops earnings will be used to purchase new Classroom Playground Equipment for every classroom. This would mean each class’ ball bag would be refilled with a variety of new balls to play with outside!
Thank you for your participation! (click here) for all the details)

COVID-19 UPDATES
CASES ON THE UPTICK: We have been experiencing more positive COVID-19 cases this week amongst students and staff across the district. This is consistent with what is being seen in and around the community. We ask families to please be diligent in keeping your children home when they are experiencing symptoms or are sick. Please continue to report any symptoms or sickness through the online absence reporting form process.
TESTING CHANGES: Walk-in on-site testing through FPS is no longer available for students and their family members. Students and their family members who are at home and need access to testing are recommended to visit a community testing site. For more information, please visit the Summit Clinical Labs website or the DHS Community Testing page here. Students who are present at school and in need of access to testing can be tested in their building through the ongoing partnership between FPS and Summit Clinical Labs. For more information about testing, click here.
As shared in this update from the March 11th Newsletter, we will resume publishing dashboard updates if the Milwaukee County rating moves to high.
