Parent SCIP Survey

The Parent SCIP (School Climate and Perception) survey is offered exclusively online this year.  Parents and guardians, you should have received a survey completion reminder via email for each student you have enrolled in our district.  If you have not received an email, and would like one, please reach out to Matt Johnson ( [email protected]).  Please take the time to complete this brief survey as it gives our school great insight into how to best serve our families each and every day.

  Robinson High School's award-winning College and Career Center (nicknamed "the Cube")  is seeking volunteers to assist RHS students with the exploration of their college, career,  or military options and helping them to clarify their plans for after they graduate. Orientation and training is provided for new volunteers. Flexible hours are also available for help with special projects and clerical tasks.
 
Come to an Open House in the Cube office
  Friday February 22nd at 12:00 noon

Incoming parents of students from 2023 class are welcome too!
