One Week Left to Order a Yearbook!

Don't miss your chance to buy a Robinson or J/J yearbook! Yearbooks cost $26 and must be ordered by April 1. For an additional $5, you can personalize the front cover with your student's name. We cannot guarantee there will be extra copies in June, so if you want a yearbook you must order now!

How to Order

Order online at yearbookordercenter.com (credit card fees apply)

Jordan/Jackson code: 24905

Robinson code: 24906

--OR--

Or return the bottom half of the flyer to school with cash or a check made payable to MESA

Important Note to 5th Grade Families

All 5th-grade students will receive a FREE yearbook courtesy of MESA. There is no need to order. You still have the option to personalize the yearbook with your student's name for $5. Simply return the bottom half of the flyer to your student's classroom with cash or a check made payable to MESA.

Volunteer at the Robinson

Book Fair!

The Robinson Book Fair is next week, April 1st to 5th.

We need MANY volunteers to ensure the fair runs smoothly. Volunteers help students shop and run the registers. We especially need volunteers for these shifts:

Monday 9:10 to 10:30 (Caplan, Jamerson)

Monday 12:20 - 1:50 (Simmons, DiCarlo, Robertson)

Tuesday 12:20 - 1:50 (Donoyan, Kiley, Olivier)

Wednesday 1:50 - 3:00 (ML Franklin (1st), Bullock)

Given the young ages of the students, it is critical we have at least five volunteers per shift. Without enough volunteers, not all classes will be able to visit the book fair.

We also need help with setup this Thursday (March 28th), Open to the Public Hours, and breakdown. Please sign up for a shift or two if you can!

The SignUp Genius indicates which classes will visit during which shift!

Please make sure your CORI is up to date!

Robinson Teacher Appreciation Dinner

On Thursday, April 4th, MESA will host our Spring Teacher Appreciation Dinner at Robinson and we need your help! This dinner provides a lovely meal and a nice break for our teachers during their full day and evening of parent conferences. We will be catering some key menu items, but still require many contributions, such as salads, desserts, beverages, and serving items. We also need volunteers to set up, serve & break down. If you'd like to help, please use the SignUpGenius to choose the items you would like to provide:
