THE BOOK FAIR IS LIVE!November 15-19
Students will visit in-person, on a class-by-class schedule, from November 15-19. Purchases can only be made through a pre-funded e-wallet (cash, checks or credit cards will NOT be accepted). Set up your child’s e-wallet here, where you can also see the Book Fair Flyer. To help build our classroom libraries, please consider donating to your teacher’s e-wallet. You can get the link from your class Room Parent.
Please make sure to print out your child’s barcode that can be found in your scholastic account, as it will be scanned at the time of purchase. Any balances remaining will be made available for you to make future scholastic purchases. You can shop Robert’s online fair using the link above November 15- 25.

EARLY PICKUP ENDS AT 2:30PM SHARP
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR EARLY PICK-UP:
- Please be patient and allow for extra time, if you have a time-sensitive appointment. Your child may be in transition between classes/lunch, or if there are several other parents ahead of you, wait-times can be longer than expected.
- Use the Circle Drive entrance and press the buzzer when you arrive.
- DO NOT ALLOW OTHER PEOPLE TO FOLLOW YOU INTO THE BUILDING. This is a safety issue.
- Masks are required to enter the building.
- ALWAYS have your driver’s license/passport. These are the only two forms of accepted identification. Unfortunately, we cannot accept pictures of your driver’s license/passport. This is for the safety of your child. Thank you!

The materials presented at both grounds information meetings will be posted (alongside an FAQ page, which is under construction) on our internal PTO website later this week.

COMMUNITY NIGHT WAS SO MUCH FUN!
The Roberts Community FINALLY gathered for a safe, socially-distanced, outdoor movie at the school athletic field! Kids (and some parents) were enthralled by 'The Secret Lives of Pets 2' and the 5th Grade Committee ran a very successful snack and beverage sale fundraiser. Thank you to Jeff Frey, Ryan Hammer, Ranabir Dutt, and, of course, Ms. Epps and the Roberts Staff, for making this event a huge success!
