MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Hello Robinwood Families, with just a few days into the school year and am so proud of how students adjusted back. The smiles on their faces as they waved to last year's teacher or the excitement they had as they grabbed a chocolate milk for lunch shows me that students are loving being back!
I understand that lots of information comes out at the beginning of the year so I hope this short list will help clarify any wonderings.
Arrival: Only buses are allowed to pull right up to the school, if you have a 4k-1st grader and you are dropping off, please use the back parking lot (by Mr. Bauer) to drop off. If you have a 2nd-5th grader please drop off on Allwood.
Dismissal: Parent-pick up families, please make sure to have your family number visible in your vehicle.
Visitors: Please remember to have a state photo ID if you are visiting the school. Families are asked not to come into the building during arrival and dismissal.

MEDICATIONS FOR THE 2022-23 SCHOOL YEAR
If your student will require ANY (over the counter or prescription) medication for the 22-23 school year please fill out the Request to Administer Medication form found on our district website and have it signed by your physician.
All medication can then be dropped off at school in its original container along with this form. Please feel free to drop off medication in the office.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING SCHOOL LUNCH
POSSIBLE SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES
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
