Help for Students

As we are now a quarter of the way through the school year, hopefully students have been able to find a rhythm to their course load.  We know juggling school and outside activities can be a little tricky; therefore, we've created a Need Help? Flyer for your child and family.  The Need Help? Flyer (which looks great on a refrigerator by the way!) lists all of the helpful resources available through Robinson and the IB program.  In addition to all of the great information, you will see a new schedule for ELP available each day for FREE after school.  
College Shirt Mondays

Robinson High School works hard every day to promote a college ready culture across our campus.  Every Monday, students are encouraged to promote the college & universities of their choice by wearing their logos and colors.  Students that participate will be entered to win prizes during their lunch.  
Upcoming Parent University
 
Parent University is a free conference supporting the academic life of children in Pre-K through post secondary. Sessions will be focused on academic and support programs in Hillsborough County Public Schools, effective strategies families can use to help every child succeed, and ways to advocate for the resources necessary for our public schools.

The next Parent University will be held on Saturday, October 20 from 7:30-11:30 a.m. at Armwood High School. For more information on class topics visit the school district website: Parent University or download this Parent University flyer.

Robinson High School IB's Prospective Student Open House will be held on Thursday, November 8th beginning at 6:00 p.m. All students interested in learning more about the IB program at Robinson High School and their families are invited to attend. 

We would also like to invite any interested 8th grade students to come visit our campus and feel like a Knight for a day! Shadowing opportunities are available on six specific dates beginning October 22nd through February 4th. Students many reserve a spot for a day that works best for their schedule by registering here: Shadow at Robinson IB.

Students registered to shadow are to report on their date to RHS by 9am. They will take part in a short presentation by some of the IB Faculty and students in the auditorium and will then pair up with a current IB student to experience a day in the IB World! Students will need to be picked up at 1:15pm on Mondays, or 2pm on Tuesdays-Fridays, where they will receive a letter to take back to their school proving their attendance for the day. Lunch can be brought from home or purchased from our school's nutrition service for $2.75.  Students may want to bring a notepad and paper so they can write down important info or questions they have along the way.  We're looking forward to meeting you!

Please spread the word to families that are interested in exploring RHS IB about our Open House date and Student Shadowing opportunities.
