National School Social Work Week - March 5-10
March 5-10 is National School Social Work Week. Social workers in FCPS help to prevent social, emotional, and behavioral factors from affecting a student's ability to perform at their best. Their primary goal is to remove barriers that prevent a student from fulfilling their academic potential. Social workers are assigned to every school and center in the school system. Most social workers serve one to two sites. Learn more about the role of social workers in FCPS. |

Science Olympiad Regional Results
Science Olympiad travelled to the University of Mary Washington last weekend for the VASO regional competition. Students competed in 20 different events across all areas of science, from Anatomy to Forensics, Green Generation to Forestry, and Astronomy to Detector Design. Students also competed in build events, testing the loading on their bridges, the accuracy of the trajectories in their launchers, and the ability to design and safely accelerate an egg towards a wall and stopping it before it breaks. They have spent the last 4 months learning, practicing and preparing. In the overall team category, Robinson placed 4th and qualified to take a team to states at UVa later this month. Thank you to ALL the teachers for their help supporting the students in their investigations, but an especially large thank you to the Tech Ed team (Amy K , Barrett A and Steve S) for supporting the build events as they worked with them to build devices in their classroom many an afterschool day.

 Robinson families,
Did you know Robinson’s library has a collection of picture books?
Your Robinson student is welcome to borrow books from our picture book section to read with siblings, cousins, or any little ones in their lives. Reading aloud is a great way to practice oral skills, and emerging readers LOVE to hear stories - a win, win!
Happy reading!
