Dear Roberts Community,
We have much to be proud of as we wrap up this school year.  Your children have been challenged with well-designed transdisciplinary units of inquiry, have stayed focused on their goals to improve as readers, and have tackled rigorous mathematics instruction with a focus on developing algebraic thinking.  Your children have continued to develop themselves in the elements of the learner profile and better understand their power and responsibility to change a culture of bully-behavior as an upstander. 

The best thing you can do for your child this summer is to make sure your child has opportunties to read.  Barnes and Noble and the Houston Public Library are offering summer reading incentive programs.  Your child may be interested in reading the books on the Name That Book list, but they may prefer not to be tied to a list someone else chose.  Just make time for your child to read.

We will be busy planning for the new school year.  The school will be cleaned from top to bottom, from corner to corner.  Technology will be checked and repaired or replaced.  We will be working on improvements to curriculum and instruction.  We look forward to our 5-yr IB Evaluation visit in the Fall.

We wish you a relaxing summer that brings your family together.  Happy summer!

Mrs. Graves
