We would like parents to know we are committed to being available for your child and plan to give students the best education at Robstown Independent School District.

2 From the Desk of The Superintendent Dear Robstown ISD Parents, Guardians & Community Members, Dr. Maria Vidaurri It is hard to believe the first six weeks has concluded, our students have begun school with a strong emphasis on their academic studies and our teachers have taken the district slogan, "Moving Forward to an unprecedented level. We are proud to be embarking on new, innovative educational techniques, that includes university professors who essentially, teach our teachers how to be more effective and successful in the classroom. We are so fortunate for the grants that have funded this initiative, as we have already seen the positive responses from this outreach. I hope this newsletter continues to be your information source for the many great things taking place at Robstown Independent School District. Thank you for your support. Your partnership makes all the difference. Sincerely, Dr. Maria Vidaurri Hattie Martin Students Participate in Thank a Cop Day Pre K-3 and Pre K-4 year olds wanted to extend a special thank you to the police officers that serve the Robstown community. In honor of National Thank a Police Officer Day, students made heart-felt cards and crafts to give to the officers who visited their classrooms. Officers were on campus to not only see the hallways decked in supportive posters and decorations, but to receive their Thank - You s from the children as well. The students dressed in blue to support local law enforcement and were thrilled to have police officers in their classroom to read stories to them and talk to them about candy safety during Halloween and looking both ways when crossing the street. Officers from Robstown Police Department made visits to classrooms at Hattie Martin RPD 2
3 Robstown ISD Implements Innovative Literacy and Writing Programs Robstown Independent School District is delighted to be the recipient of two grants from the Education Service Center, Region 2 and the Coastal Bend Writing Project that will provide unique resources for the District to improve student literacy and provide teacher training to support reading and writing integration in every class. The Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) Grant targets early childhood children, up to fifth grade, and will be used to provide experiences that will strengthen student reading and writing abilities. This will be done through the distribution of highly appealing reading materials, on a wide variety of subjects and formats. The Elementary and Intermediate campuses throughout Robstown ISD will receive five Kindle Fire e-readers per grade level and twenty-five ipad2 tablets per campus. These devices will be pre-programmed with an array of academic online databases for educational purposes. The IAL Grant will also be used to increase school readiness for children ages two through four. Hattie Martin Early Childhood Center will be hosting five Toddler Reading Time events throughout the year that will be open to the public. To elaborate, the events will include thematic materials and activities that will place emphasis on early literacy development. This means that the first 30 parents who bring their children will be given a packet of literacy activities, including a free book to practice reading at home. Elementary and Intermediate campuses will host Family Literacy Events that parents and students will be invited to attend together. During which, they will be able to take home up to three books at a time to become equipped with information on building a home library. The second Grant given to Robstown ISD, Write for Texas, is designed to help all teachers provide opportunities for students to read, write and discuss a wide variety of genres throughout the school year. This will include free training from university professors and instructional coaches that will provide teacher modeling supported materials to promote daily writing in all disciplines across the district. The goal is that students will vision and gain access to appropriate models of writing, which will create opportunities to integrate what is learned, and apply it to everyday concepts. Superintendent, Dr. Maria Vidaurri, expressed her excitement, This is a great opportunity for our District to promote literacy all the way from our elementary schools to the high school. Through this grant we will be focusing on creating critical readers and phenomenal writers. These school-wide literacy and writing programs are unique to Robstown ISD, which coincide with the District motto for the School Year, Moving Forward, coming together to ensure every student has the opportunity to achieve success. Parents with children aged two or younger are invited to attend the next scheduled Toddler Reading Times at Hattie Martin Early Childhood Center.

Stop the Flu: How to Stay Well During Flu Season With flu season approaching, Robstown ISD would like to take the time to send out some precautionary measures to reduce your chances of catching the flu. District Head Nurse, Yvonne Guajardo, answers some FAQ s about the virus. Q: What is the flu? A: Influenza, commonly known as the flu is a highly contagious viral infection of the respiratory tract. It affects all age groups, though kids tend to get it more often than adults. In the United States, flu season runs from October-May, with most cases happening between late December and early March. Q: What signs and symptoms can I look for in my child? A: The flu is often confused with the common cold, but flu symptoms are more severe than the typical sneezing and stuffiness of a cold. Symptoms can include: -fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, dizziness, loss of appetite, tiredness, cough, sore throat, runny nose, nausea or vomiting, weakness, ear pain, diarrhea Q:How long can a sick person spread the flu to others? A: The flu is contagious, spread by virus-infected droplets that are coughed or sneezed into the air. People who are infected are contagious from a day before they feel sick until their symptoms end (about 1 week for adults, but this can be longer for kids). Q: How can I protect my child against the flu? A: The flu vaccine helps protect people from the flu viruses that experts think will be most common. While the vaccine doesn t guarantee against getting sick, someone whose vaccinated and still gets the flu will have fewer and milder symptoms. These practical steps make spreading the flu less likely: -Wash your hands often with soap -Never pick up used tissues -Don t share cups and eating utensils -Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If a tissue is unavailable, cough or sneeze into your upper arm, not your hands 4
