Principal's Message
Dear Jackie Robinson K- 8 Community,
Thank you for all your efforts to remain connected to us as we have officially ended two weeks and ready to take on week three!
Know that the decision to extend our Distance Learning experience until January 28, 2021, was not an easy one for our District. It was my pleasure to host approximately 70 parents during my Principal Zoom Hour on Thursday and answer your questions and concerns. I encourage you to join me in these community forums to learn the many things our district and school are organizing to be of support to you and your loved ones. I also welcome your feedback to continue to find ways to better meet the needs of our Robinson community.
Our goal at Robinson now more than ever is to continue to find ways to effectively engage our young dolphins in their learning and assist you with supports that will ensure their success from home.
Below you will find ways that we are ready to make this an exciting week/month!
In these events/experiences like our Virtual Spirit Week and Robinson Virtual Back to School Night my hope is that we take a moment to appreciate one another and be thankful to still be able to engage in community. It will definitely look and feel different... but I am excited and grateful to have the best set of students , parents and staff members to take part in this journey.
With appreciation for all your continued support,
Salvador Madrigal
Principal
Estimadas familias de Robinson K-8 Academy,
Gracias por todos sus esfuerzos para permanecer conectados con nosotros, ya que oficialmente terminamos dos semanas y estamos listos para comenzar la tercer semana!
Sepa que la decisión de extender nuestra experiencia de aprendizaje a distancia hasta el 28 de enero de 2021, no fue fácil para nuestro Distrito. Fue un placer para mí recibir a aproximadamente 70 padres durante mi Hora Zoom de Director el jueves y responder a sus preguntas e inquietudes. Los animo a unirse a mí en estos foros comunitarios para aprender las muchas cosas que nuestro distrito y la escuela están organizando para ser de apoyo para usted y sus seres queridos. También agradezco sus comentarios para seguir buscando formas de satisfacer mejor las necesidades de nuestra comunidad de Robinson.
Nuestro objetivo en Robinson ahora más que nunca es continuar encontrando formas de involucrar de manera efectiva a nuestros delfines jóvenes en su aprendizaje y ayudarles a ustedes con apoyos que garantizarán su éxito desde casa.
A continuación, encontrará formas en las que estamos listos para hacer de esta una semana / mes emocionante.
1. Semana del espíritu virtual de Robinson
2. Noche de regreso a la escuela virtual de Robinson
En estos eventos / experiencias como nuestra Semana del espíritu virtual y la Noche de regreso a la escuela virtual de Robinson, espero que nos tomemos un momento para apreciarnos unos a otros y estar agradecidos de poder participar en la comunidad. Definitivamente se verá y se sentirá diferente ... pero estoy emocionado y agradecido de tener el mejor grupo de estudiantes, padres y miembros del personal para participar en este viaje.
Con agradecimiento por todo su continuo apoyo,
Salvador Madrigal
Director
