Providing students and parents with important updates and reports of events and happenings in the middle school.
Good evening Robinson Ram families! Thank you for reading our first Ram Blast of the 2020-2021 school year. As many of you know, this year will be unlike any we have experienced. Whether you are new to Robinson as a 7th grade student or newly enrolled, our teachers and staff have been working to make sure you each have a wonderful school year of learning, relationship building, and growth!
This newsletter will be sent weekly on Fridays. Since the virtual world is our new reality, please take time each week to read this together with your Ram and discuss the variety of topics included. Each week we will share important information, content related topics to discuss, and celebrate our amazing students. Even if we cannot be together physically, we can utilize our tools to continue building lasting relationships with our community and families.
If you are newly enrolled to FCPS, you will be mailed your SIS parent activation letter between August 26th and August 28th.
Please continue to e-mail or call us if you have questions, concerns, or ideas. We are all in this together!
