Captain and Tennille once sang.."Love will keep us together....but in the LBC..Relationships, ...Relationships will keep us together!
Using this 1970's chords for "Love will Keep us Together" the "new" JROB 2019 version is ...
"Relationships, ........Relationships will keep us TOGETHER".
Relationships,
......Relationships will keep us together
Think of support and love, whenever
Some special-DOLPHIN comes along, singing their ups and downs
Don't lose ground, you've just got to be a warm demander,
Just stop 'Cause they really need your Love and respect,
Stop, They are watching and thinking of your daily lessons
Sooo...Look in their heart and let them see your unconditional expectations,
'Cause... Relationships will keep us/them TOGETHER!!!
Click the link for the music and sing the new LYRICS over the next 32 days!! OMG, I see a Challenge coming...Be ready!!
Notes from Damita and Paula
Welcome Back! I hope you all enjoyed a well-deserved break with family and loved ones/friends. Now that we are back, we are in our final push of this school year. I hope you are back rejuvenated and geared up to end this school year filled with renewed determination and recharged for the work ahead. Thank you for your work thus far on behalf of students and their families. There is so much each of you should be proud of; looking forward to ending our school year filled with our year's focus...#studentsareourwhy which is leading to increased and measurable student success!
During this past week, Ms. Giron took a group of Robinson students to Washington DC. She shared several pictures of their visit, but this one of cherry blossom tree just resonates beauty and life. The significance of the cherry blossom tree in Japanese culture goes back hundreds of years. In their country, the cherry blossom represents the fragility and the beauty of life. It’s a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but that it is also tragically short. When the cherry blossom trees bloom for a short time each year in brilliant force, they serve as a visual reminder of how precious and how precarious life is. So, when Japanese people come together to view the cherry blossom trees and marvel at their beauty, they aren’t just thinking about the flowers themselves, but also about the larger meaning and deep cultural tradition the cherry blossom tree.
In a weird sort of way, I see the beauty of the "SPRING Cherry Blossom" as the BLOSSOMING of our JROB students into Scholars and Citizens....#180daysofwhy...#students.

2. It's APRIL and its time for submission of RETENTION "RED FLAG LIST" - DUE MONDAY 4/29
K-5 Teachers, please review the list placed in your box and highlight the students who are "MOST AT RISK" and in need of a parent conference in May for retention in 19-20.
3. Robinson will receive an exterior painting of our campus this SUMMER 2019. No access for students or staff from June 17 - August 17.
4. Robinson will receive upgrades to our school's HVAC system along with additional upgrades for 2020-21. These upgrades will cause our "entire campus: staff and students" to be moved to a different location. More details will be forthcoming throughout the 2019-20 school year for staff, parents and community regarding the move for Robinson.
5. Due to increasing instructional support needs on our campus, we have run out of space to house the programs and interventions needed. Therefore, we are going to have to move the current location of the Parent Center housed in room 32 for the 2019-20 school year. The Parent Center will now become a "shared room space" with the WRAP program. More details will be forthcoming about the "shared space use" in the application for both Parent Center and WRAP/After School program for the 2019-20 school year.

Last RAPID/CORE 5 Assessment - Due Date Information
- The window is open from April 1st - June 15th.
- There must be at least 6 weeks between the Winter and Spring Administration (the last day of Winter administration was March 2nd).
- Kinder, 1st-grade and 2nd-grade teachers are not required to administer the optional comprehension portions of the RAPID Screener.
- Ideally, all students will have completed the RAPID Screener before the final PD (April 30, May 1st, or May 2nd). We will look at the data together and this PD will be much more meaningful with 3 data points.
