Oh to be a middle schooler again (mmm...maybe not) with the excitement of the first dance looming on the horizon. It's this Friday right after school until 5:30 in the California Room.
On November 4th, we have our next RPA meeting. Be sure to attend and help shape this year for your Raskobian.
For students getting ready to spread their wings and move on to the world of high school, be sure to attend the High School Panel on November 6th from 4 to 6 pm. This event provides a great opportunity to meet and gain insights from past Raskob students and parents whom have already walked this path.
Thank you so much to Teen Esteem for presenting a Parent Education Event about internet safety.
Key Info from the afternoon
The internet is a vast unregulated entity that preys on young minds
Cyberbullying and Social Media can cause irreparable
harm to our children
Most kids spend 7 hrs on screens (more than being in school or in bed for some kids) Which can lead to aggression, anxiety and depression. 2 hours is the recommended amount
Don't Fret, Be Proactive not Reactive

Jessica and Edee represented Raskob at the annual Association of Educational Therapists (AET) conference this past weekend in Redwood City. Raskob also sponsored the evening reception for the conference. Way to represent, Jessica and Edee! Raskob is lucky to have you.
(Rumor has it that a couple of students have sold over $300 in candy.)
See's Candy Sales continue until 11/17
Remember there will be prizes for the
top three sellers!
