Happy New Year!

I hope your holidays were happy and that everyone is ready for 2010!

It has, and continues to be a tough economic time.  However, we have much to be thankful for in the Robla School District.

In a time when schools are dropping music and physical education programs, we are able to boast that our students have the availability to get both music and P.E. each week.

Both our Robla District chorus and the Strings participants put on highly successful music programs in December before the Winter Break.

Our Academic Performance Indicator (API) increased by 26 points at Robla School and a seven point increase District-wide.

Our partnerships with the Roberts Family Development Center and Sierra Health Foundation are growing and successfully reaching families for services. 

We recently received a grant from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act to increase lighting and cameras for increased security at our schools. 

In the summer of 2009, there were modernization improvements made at all schools in the District.  There will be further, more complete modernizations made at Taylor Street School, Bell Avenue School and Robla School in the summer of this (2010) year. 

Our District has grown about sixty (60) students this year.  This is the first growth we have seen in ten (10) years.  As a result of the growth we had to hire two additional teachers we had previously laid-off in the spring, so that we could provide teachers for the new students.

We are looking forward to a successful and committed completion of the 2009-2010 school year these last six (6) months.  Your positive and encouraging help to children and staff are appreciated!

If you have questions or need clarification on issues you encounter, please feel free to contact anyone in the Robla School District.  We will try to help you!  The Robla School District phone number is (916) 991-1728 if you need help with school in any way. 

I look forward to working with you and feel lucky to be a part of a great School District.
