SUBJECT: August 2021 - Back to School

Welcome Back Robertson Families!

Your Robertson PTA is ready to provide A LOT of opportunities for our students, staff, and families to feel supported. Each member of the PTA board are also parents of Robertson students and our goal is to promote Family Engagement, Educational Programs, and Campus Enrichment which we know will benefit our entire community.

We realize how important it is to keep in touch with our community as we navigate the year ahead, so we plan to keep in touch with a monthly PTA newsletter. Take a scroll and check out what we have been up to already as well as what is to come!

Popsicles Pep Rally

It was HOT, but we were thankful so many families came out to say hello at the Popsicles on the Playground on Aug. 9th.

We love to shower our Robertson Families with love, and many more events are planned this year to do just that.

- Fall Picnic, Game Night

- Programs / Assemblies, Spirit Nights

Homecoming - Meet the Teacher Night

Our #RobertsonU students were welcomed back with banners and Teachers showed their House color pride by running through the banners on Meet the Teacher Night.

Tears and Cheers

Many cheers, and some tears, for the first day back at school!

The first day back can be tough for both the students and parents...but, together we will make the new school year GREAT!

Robertson PTA offers many opportunities for students and parents to connect with one another and build a strong Robertson family!

The Power of Room Parents

The Robertson Room Parent program has returned, and we need a parent volunteer to represent each and every class. As a Room Parent, you will communicate events and volunteering needs to your fellow class parents. The PTA Room Parent Coordinator, Lisa Hollins, will guide you through the year with email templates and online sign-up tools, as well as tips for breaking projects into tasks and getting lots of help from the class parents. It's a great way to be involved throughout the year!

The first activity is a RobertsonU Word Search:
