A message from our Principal

    Dear Robles Elementary School Families,

    As we usher in the month of April, I wanted to reach out to you with some important information regarding the upcoming Arizona's AASA testing for students in grades third to fifth. These assessments are crucial in providing insight into your child's academic progress and help us tailor our teaching methods to better support their growth. Not only is it meaningful for your students but the results of these assessments determine the letter grades that are assigned to schools.

    The AASA testing will be conducted throughout the month of April, and it is essential that your child is adequately prepared. To ensure success, here are some suggestions on what parents can do at home to help their children on test day:

    • Establish a Consistent Routine: Encourage your child to establish a consistent study routine at home. A good night's sleep is crucial for optimal cognitive function and concentration during the exams. Then, get up early, so they do not have to rush in the morning to get to school, as this sets a tone for their day.

    • Encourage Healthy Habits: It is important that they are eating their breakfast, lunch, and dinner; they need that fuel for their brains. Here at school, we will provide them with breakfast and lunch.

    • Stay Positive and Encouraging: Offer words of encouragement and support to your child throughout their preparation. Remind them that their best effort is what truly matters, and reassure them that you believe in their abilities.

    Additionally, I want to remind you about the Arizona Move On When Reading Requirement. This initiative aims to ensure that all students are proficient in reading by the end of third grade. If your child is currently in third grade, they will complete the AASA Reading Fluency Assessment, in April. We will be notified of their results in early May and will reach out if your child did not meet the requirement.

    If you have any questions or concerns regarding the AASA testing or the Move On When Reading Requirement, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher or our school administration. Your partnership is invaluable in supporting your child's academic journey.

    Thank you for your continued support, and together, we will ensure the success of all our students.

    Warm regards,

      Dustie Gunn-Ader
