2017 - Week of September 18

Post date: Sep 17, 2017 5:38:05 PM

Happy weekend Robious Middle families!

All middle school students are completing MAP assessments in reading and math last week and this week. MAP® Growth™ measures what students know and informs teachers what students are ready to learn next. By adjusting the difficulty of questions as each child responds, MAP Growth creates a personalized assessment experience that accurately measures performance—whether a student performs on, above, or below grade level. Students can set goals and teachers can use reports from the testing to differentiate instruction.

The Clover Hill High School choral department is sponsoring a "stuff the truck" drive for victims of Hurricane Irma. Because Raiders CARE, we would love for our families to contribute. Clothing items and shoes are not able to be collected, but they are in need of several other items. The following list is a good resource: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HpvXseoTvLIUR1w5pnMSyMG3isOi8-KpeNwBY8m2ERc/edit?usp=sharing

Donations can be taken directly to the CHHS truck located at the WalMart at Hancock Village (off Hull Street). The truck is open for donations Monday-Friday from 4-7, Saturday 10-7, and Sunday from 1-7. Donations can also be brought to Mrs. Longo in the chorus room at Robious. All donations brought to Robious must be received by Wednesday, September 27th by 3:00 pm. Donations to the truck itself can be accepted as late as Thursday, September 28th.
