 Hello, Robinson Families,
On September 13, Robinson will begin RAMS READ time, each Monday we have an Advisory Period.
Rams READ is a time when the entire school stops to read choice material – books, magazines, newspapers, eBooks, etc. Choice reading is one of the most effective ways to improve students’ literacy skills! Please support RAMS READ time by encouraging your students to bring choice materials to school and participate during Rams Read.
Resources:
*** If students are looking for a great read, they can browse this site for reading recommendations: https://robinsonss-fcps.libguides.com/finding-your-next-book
**** Students may also access items digitally, by visiting the Rams Read choice board: https://robinsonss-fcps.libguides.com/finding-your-next-book/rams-read
Happy Reading!

Social Work Spotlight
By Kristen Licciardo, MSW, School Social Worker
What is Social Work Spotlight? I will highlighting anything and all social work related information…an inspirational story I have come across, a book I am reading, resources in the community, special events, etc… sometimes, just a great quote for the week!
Who is your school social worker? This is my tenth year working as a school social worker. This is my seventh year at Robinson! I have been working as a social worker with children and families for 25 years. I attended California State University, Northridge and received my Bachelor’s Degree in Child Development. I completed my Master’s Degree in Social Work at the University of Southern California. I spent the early part of my career working with children and families in mental health settings, including residential treatment centers, day treatment programs, non-public schools, and outpatient therapy programs. In California, I also worked as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker doing private practice. I relocated to Northern Virginia in 2009 and have enjoyed living on the east coast with my husband and two children, one in elementary school and one starting high school this year!
What does your school social worker do? I provide support to children and families in the areas of mental health, accessing community resources, basic needs, and special education. I partner with our school teams and counselors to ensure all students are achieving their full academic, social and emotional potential.
