TRADITION HERE AT ROBINWOOD
In order to showcase the many cultures that make up our Robinwood Family, we will again be displaying a Cultural Tree in the lobby outside of the library. We are asking interested families to donate a decoration to be placed on the tree. This item can be either purchased or handmade. It should however depict a part of your culture or native country. Please place any decorations in a bag with a note as to what holiday and country they represent. We will then label the items with a tag stating that information. These items will not be returned, they will be kept to be reused in following years.
Also, in keeping the spirit of giving alive, we will be having a New Hat and Glove/Mitten Drive. The items can be for children or adults. When the drive is over we will donate them to needy families in our community.
You may begin to bring in your items after the Thanksgiving Break (Tuesday, December 1st) up until December 16th.
The items can be sent with your child or dropped off in the office.
Thank you for helping us continue our tradition!
ATTENDANCE REMINDER
This year we started a new process of reporting ANY absence including leaving early and arriving late on a google form. HERE is the link to report absences.
DRESS FOR THE WEATHER
Wisconsin weather is upon us! Please make sure your son/daughter is dressed appropriately for outdoor recess. Coats and hats are necessary for the impending cold weather. However, this being Wisconsin, it can become warm and sunny by noontime. Please remind your child if they choose to remove their jacket during recess they are to be tied around their waist and not left on the playground. The decision to have an outdoor or indoor recess is based on both the wind speed and temperature at 11:30 am. If it is an outside recess day, all students must go outdoors.
Clothing
All students are expected to go outside for recess whenever the wind chill is above 0 degrees. Please be sure your child is dressed for the weather. This includes a warm coat, mittens or gloves, hats, scarves, snow pants & boots when there is snow. Please write the students name on all items.
New this Year:
As you are aware, our recess looks different keeping classroom cohorts together in assigned areas throughout the playground. This includes three grassy areas that will become snow when the winter weather starts. This means ALL students will be expected to have boots and snow pants during the weeks they are assigned to the snowy areas.

PLEASE WASH MASKS
Our students and staff are doing a great job wearing their masks each day! As we get into normal routines during the school year, one routine we would like to highly encourage is mask washing. We are seeing some students coming to school with masks that have not been washed in a few days. Please consider having your student rotate masks throughout the week and start each day with a clean, fresh mask. Mask effectiveness is best with a clean, dry mask each day.
It is always a good idea to have an extra mask in your student's backpack. We have had some students forget to bring a mask in the morning or lose their mask at lunch. Thanks for your help.
