Robinson Secondary School’s Math Department would like to invite your student to register for and attend our Math Boot Camp this summer. The Math Boot Camp consists of three-hour sessions over the course of four days, which will focus on prerequisite math skills to be successful in the next math course. New course content will not be covered. As you know, high school mathematics courses can be extremely challenging, and our Math Boot Camp will help alleviate some of the pressures these difficult courses may create.
Math Boot Camp will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., Monday thru Thursday, August 5-8, 2024 at Robinson Secondary School. The cost of the camp is $100.00 per student. There will be scholarship opportunities for students who demonstrate financial need
Sessions are offered for students enrolled in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 for the 2024-25 school year.
See the FLYER for more information.

 Hello, Students and Families,
The flowers are blooming, and it’s testing season at Robinson. Beginning Monday, April 29 and throughout the month of May, the library will be used for testing. Please see the full schedule below.
For your planning purposes, please note:
** The library is closed when students are testing in the library. Students will not be able to access the library, the printer, or the prayer room during these times. For students seeking a space for prayer, please visit SS10 when the library is closed.
** If our front doors are shut with a “Closed for Testing” sign on the door, students should return another time.
** Please ask your student(s) to plan accordingly for book returns, checkouts, printing, hanging out with friends, etc.
The library will open each day after students complete their SOL tests. Good luck on your exams, students!

Mental Health Awareness Month - Anxiety
What is anxiety?
Occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. Many people worry about things such as health, money, or family problems. But anxiety disorders involve more than temporary worry or fear. For people with an anxiety disorder, the anxiety does not go away and can get worse over time. The symptoms can interfere with daily activities such as job performance, schoolwork, and relationships.
