Principal’s Message

Dear Robles Families,

Happy April! It’s hard to believe we are in the final stretch of the school year. Spring is a time of growth, renewal, and reflection—and our Bobcats are showing just how much they’ve learned and accomplished so far. From academic progress to personal growth, we are proud of every student and grateful for your continued partnership.

AASA Testing (Grades 3–5)
This month, our third through fifth-grade students will participate in the Arizona’s Academic Standards Assessment (AASA). These tests are an important opportunity for students to show what they know in reading, writing, and math. We’ve been preparing all year, and our students are ready to shine!

Here are a few ways you can help your child succeed during testing:

  • Make sure they get a good night’s sleep before test days.
  • Ensure they arrive on time—testing will begin promptly in the morning.
  • Provide a healthy breakfast or have them eat here at school.
  • Encourage them with a positive message: “Do your best—you’ve got this!”

We’re confident in our Bobcats and know they will give their best effort. Let’s work together to create a calm, focused environment for them during this important time.

Spring Events and Activities
April is full of exciting learning and celebrations:

  • Spring Picture Day – Keep an eye out for flyers coming home with order details!
  • Our 21st CCLC (Before and After-School) Program Showcase – Teachers will be inviting families to see what students have been working on. Don’t miss it!
  • Register for Next School Year – It is time for all students to get registered for next school year! You can do this on ParentVue. Spread the word to friends and neighbors—we’re excited to welcome our returning and new Bobcats!

Attendance Matters
Even as we near the end of the school year, consistent attendance remains critical. Every day counts when it comes to learning, especially as students prepare for end-of-year assessments and complete important projects. Let’s finish the year strong!

Thank You, Families!
We want to express our deepest appreciation for your support throughout the year. Whether you’ve volunteered, encouraged your child’s learning at home, or simply stayed connected, you’ve made a big difference.

As always, if you have any questions or need support, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here for you!

With gratitude,

Dustie Gunn
