MRS. YOUNGBLOOD’S MESSAGE
I am so proud of our older students for the effort they put into their
standardized testing these past two weeks. Our younger students will have
their chance to show all they have learned when they take the SAT/10 the
week we return from Spring Break. I feel confident they will also put
forth their best effort.
It is hard to believe that we are approaching the end of the third nine
weeks. Teachers are in the process of setting up conferences with parents
of students who are struggling to meet grade level standards. Please make
plans to attend these conferences if you are contacted so that you will be
aware of what must be accomplished for your child to be promoted to the
next grade level.
Spring Break is only a week away. The students are well deserving of this
time off. Have a safe and fun vacation!
SCIENCE FAIR FAMILY NIGHT
A Science Fair Family Night will be held on Tuesday, March 13, from 5:30 –
7:30 PM in the Media Center. During the Family Night parents and students
of Roberts Elementary will be able to use the Media Center’s resources to
help your child choose a topic and begin planning an experiment. Teachers
from each grade level will be available to answer questions and offer
advice. Backboards will be available for purchase that evening in the
Media Center or any school day in the front office for $5.00. We look
forward to seeing our young scientists at work!
