Providing students and parents with important updates and reports of events and happenings in the middle school.
Monday Attendance & Teacher Support
Students are required to complete a Google attendance form every Monday for their 1st period teachers between 8:00-9:00 a.m. The form is available through their 1st period teacher’s Blackboard 24/7 course or Google Classroom. They must be logged in using the @fcpsschools.net account to complete this form. All teachers have discussed the process with the students. If they do not complete it, they will be marked UNV for the day. Please remind your students to complete this task. Teachers will be available for support between 9-11 a.m. by appointment. Students should make arrangements with their teachers the week before. If your student is unable to complete the form or complete asynchronous activities for the day due to illness, etc, please call the attendance line - (703) 426-6040.
SR&R Review | Action Needed
Your student just recently viewed the FCPS Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R) video and completed the SR&R test. Parents and guardians, please review the Student Rights and Responsibilities and related resources at www.fcps.edu/srr. After reviewing the information, please fill out the SR&R Parent Acknowledgement Form. The link is a featured announcement on the Robinson Secondary School homepage. Please complete the form by October 30, 2020. Thank you!

Many of us are missing the sounds of the School Fight Song this fall. The administration team recorded this special announcement just for you! https://youtu.be/lDii3r8hhUI |
Learning Seminar Clarification
Students will NOT receive an additional BBCU link for their Learning Seminar classes. Students should use their links associated with the class that will meet during the scheduled Learning Seminar. For instance, when meeting with their Learning Seminar 1 class, the students will use their 1st period BBCU link. Every middle school student was assigned a BBCU link organizer within their grade level google classroom that includes the bell schedule, Blue/Gold day calendar with Learning Seminar classes, and a place to keep their BBCU links. Please encourage your Ram to complete this google document.
