FPS TEXT MESSAGE TEST @ 4:30PM TUESDAY
As we shared last week, this coming Tuesday sometime around 4:30pm or shortly after, we will send a test text message to our parents and guardians so we can begin using the text message feature of our messaging system. This will only be used for time sensitive situations (school is called off, an alert related to a bus incident, a building situation to keep families informed about, upcoming event details, etc). Parents and guardians will receive a message from this service that explains steps to take should you choose to opt out. Since this is our first time using this feature, we anticipate that some parents or guardians may not receive the message for various reasons so we will follow up with a phone call and email with next steps to follow if you do not receive the message. That phone call and email will come to parents and guardians around 5:30pm on Tuesday. Thank you for your patience as we work through adding this new feature.
Note for staff: We are still working to add staff contact information for this feature.

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION CONTEST (Updated 5/2/22)
Help Our Earnings Grow! Box Tops 4 Education Contest (April 18th – May 16th)
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’s ball bag would be refilled with many different types of balls to play with outside!
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!!

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.
