Dear Parents,

Congratulations to all of our volleyball teams on a fantastic season and for representing Robert Warren so well throughout the division finals. We are incredibly proud of the teamwork, commitment, and sportsmanship our student-athletes demonstrated all season long. A special shoutout to our Senior Boys team, who are this year’s Division Champions—what an incredible accomplishment! Thank you as well to our coaches, staff, and families for your support and encouragement throughout the season.

A very special thank you to Sra. Keen for organizing such an incredible Heritage Day celebration. It was a wonderful afternoon of learning, sharing, and celebrating the many cultures that make up our Robert Warren community. We are so grateful for the care and energy that went into making this meaningful experience possible for our students and staff.

Thank you to all of our families for a wonderful round of School Conferences. It was so great to see and connect with so many parents, guardians, and students over the two days. These conversations are such an important part of supporting student success, and we truly appreciate your time, partnership, and ongoing support.

As we head into Spring Break, I would also encourage families to take a few minutes to check in on school supplies before students return. We are now just over halfway through the school year, and many students are beginning to run low on some key items. It may be a good time for a quick binder and pencil case refresh—or even a full organization overhaul! Some common items that may need replacing or restocking include loose-leaf paper, pencils, erasers, pens, a ruler, highlighters, binder dividers or folders, and scissors.

Wishing all of our Robert Warren families a wonderful, restful, and well-deserved Spring Break! Students will be off March 20–29, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday, March 30.

¡Les deseamos a todas nuestras familias de Robert Warren unas maravillosas y reparadoras vacaciones de primavera!

Saludos,

Kristal Derbyshire, Principal
