STUDENT RAM PAGE

Providing students and parents with important updates and reports of events and happenings in the high school.

As a reminder, winter break will be held Monday, December 23, to Friday, January 3. To help make sure you and your children have a restful break, we have asked that no homework be assigned during this time. Teachers may assign long-range assignments in the weeks ahead of the break, allowing students to practice time management skills, but no assignments will be due immediately following the break. We look forward to welcoming students back in the new year.

Robinson Winter Food Drive Lightspeed Parent Reports

FCPS has tools to help parents know more about their child’s activity on any FCPS device. These tools are provided at no cost to families by Lightspeed, the school division’s internet content filtering service.

Parents may sign up for a weekly Parent Report, which will provide a list of the top sites your child visited. The report also offers parents the ability to sign up for free access to the Internet Use Parent Portal. Through the portal, parents may pause their child’s access to the internet on their FCPS device during non-school hours.

Learn more about Lightspeed Parent Reports.

Students please join us in the library to pick out some great books before winter break! Browse the shelves or ask a librarian for a recommendation.

When school is closed over break, please visit the Robinson Library website to access our digital library collection - eBooks and audiobooks - for fantastic titles that can be checked out from home!

Wishing you all a safe and relaxing winter break!

Hearing & Vision Screening

Vision and hearing screening will be held on November 13th and 14th for all 10th grade students. The purpose of screening is to identify students who need further evaluation due to difficulty seeing the screening chart or hearing the screening tones. If your child wears glasses, please be sure that contacts/glasses are at school on screening day. Parents will be notified by letter if screening results indicate that further evaluation is needed. Prompt follow-up with your health care provider is recommended as vision and hearing difficulties can interfere with learning.

Scoliosis Information and Fact Sheet

Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine. A spine affected by
scoliosis has a sideways curve, making it appear more like an "S" or a "C" than a straight line. Untreated scoliosis can lead to limited motion, back pain, deformity, and in extreme cases, impaired function of the heart and lungs. Early detection and treatment may prevent scoliosis from progressing.  Please follow this link for more information on diagnosing and treating Scoliosis.

Providing students and parents with important updates and reports of events and happenings in the high school.

 

Every year, approximately 600,000 military-connected families relocate. Most of these families move to new duty stations, while some transition out of the military and others transition in. Most of these moves take place over the summer, and Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to ensuring our military families feel welcomed and a sense of belonging to their local community. 

Blue Star Welcome Week is an opportunity for our community to welcome our military-connected families and show them our appreciation for their service and sacrifices. Throughout the week, FCPS will help ease their transition through events, messages, actions of welcome, and opportunities to make meaningful connections. Please help us welcome our military families during Blue Star Welcome Week, September 21 - September 29, 2024, and throughout the year! #BlueStarWelcomeWeekFCPS

September is Attendance Awareness Month Importance of Strong Attendance Habits

September is Attendance Awareness Month. Some of the ways parents can help their children create healthy routines and a habit of getting to school on time every day include: 

  • Set a regular bedtime and morning routine. (Need help? Download this checklist in English or Spanish.)
  • Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before.
  • If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to teachers, school counselors, or other parents for advice on how to make them feel comfortable and excited about learning.
  • Develop back-up plans for getting to school if something comes up. Call on a family member, a neighbor, or another parent.
  • When possible, avoid medical appointments or extended trips when school is in session.

Welcome to Robinson and the Social Work Spotlight!

What is Social Work Spotlight? We will be highlighting anything and all social work related information…an inspirational story, a good book, resources in the community, special events...sometimes, just a great quote for the week!

What does your school social worker do? We provide support to children and families in the areas of mental health, accessing community resources, basic needs, and special education. We partner with our school teams and counselors to ensure all students are achieving their full academic, social and emotional potential.

Who are your school social workers?

My name is Christyn Levy and this is my 11th year working as a school social worker and at Robinson! I have been working as a social worker with children and families for 20 years. I attended University of Tampa and received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. I completed my Master’s Degree in Social Work at the University of Washington. I spent the early part of my career working with youth and young adults in emergency homeless shelters, short-term residential programs, and a children’s hospital. I am also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I relocated to Northern Virginia in 2008 to be closer to family! In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband and kids taking road trips, playing board games, camping, being outside, and playing a lot of pickleball.

 

My name is Beth Lonergan and this is my first year working at Robinson High School in a part-time position. I will be here on Mondays and Wednesdays and am looking forward to working with the Robinson community. I also work in an elementary school (Deer Park). I’ve worked in FCPS for over 20 years, but part of that time was as a third grade teacher at White Oaks ES. Before moving over to the schools, I worked with Child Protective Services here in Fairfax County. I received my Bachelors in Social Work from JMU (Go Dukes) and my Masters in Social Work from Boston College. I also have a Masters in Education from Marymount University. My two sons graduated from Fairfax High School and are in college – one is at Penn State and the other just started at The University of Delaware. My husband and I are just starting to get used to being empty nesters – but we like to travel, cook and take walks with our dog, Scout.

Family Life Education Instructional Program Info

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) provides a comprehensive, sequential Family Life Education (FLE) program for students in grades kindergarten through grade twelve.  Instruction is seen as a partnership among parents and guardians, the school, and the community in supporting the learning essential to the development of strong families, positive relationships, and a healthy community.

Parents/guardians may choose to opt their child out of all or part of the Family Life Education program.  Students who are opted out are provided with age-appropriate, nonpunitive alternative health instruction, and every effort is made to foster respect for family choices.  If you wish to opt your child out of all or part of FLE for this school year, opt out forms are available in Parent Digital Consent.  Paper opt-out forms are available from your child’s school.  Students receiving special education services and accessing modified curriculum will receive a printed opt-out form for modified FLE lessons. 

Detailed grade-level program descriptions are available online at Elementary (K-6) , Middle School (7-8) , and High School (9-12). FLE grade level-specific lessons and media that FCPS has streaming rights for are available for parents online in Schoology.  Parents/guardians login to Schoology using the same username and password as their Student Information System (SIS) Parent account.  Grade level-specific lessons are also available at the City of Fairfax Regional Library (this location does not have media).  Grade level-specific lessons and media that is not streamed online are available for review at your child’s school library.  Due to copyright permissions, we are unable to stream all media online.

Program questions may be addressed at your child’s school or by contacting Instructional Services at 571-423-4550 or by email to [email protected].

                  PE Uniform Information and Ordering

The expectation for the 2024-2025 school year is that Physical Education and Personal Fitness students will use their assigned locker room to change into safe, comfortable clothing for the class period; we prefer and recommend Robinson athletic wear.   Students' participation in class activities can be limited due to improper clothing.   Due to physical education and personal fitness grades being dependent on the ability to participate, students’ daily assessments in the assigned unit could be affected. The HPE department has set up a site where you can purchase Robinson Athletic wear to be ready for class activity. Students will be given the opportunity to lock their belongings within the locker room for their class period. Student’s belongings, including backpacks, laptops, and phones will be left in the locker room unless directed by the teacher. Students must have a master lock to lock items. This can be brought from home or purchased through the 2024-2025 PE site.  The window to purchase uniforms is currently open and will close on Friday, September 27, 2024.  Robinson Physical Education teachers will distribute the purchased uniforms to students. 

PE Uniform Link

Students are not permitted to have cell phones or headphones at any time in PE.  Cell phone usage during class can hinder learning, disrupt the learning environment, and negatively impact their engagement.

Please contact Jill Cross, [email protected], HPE Department Chair, with any questions.
