Aurora R-VIII Parents/Guardians:
Fall parent/teacher conferences are quickly approaching. Due to limiting visitors in the buildings, these conferences will look differently than in years past. Parents of students in Kindergarten-6th grade will have individual phone conferences with their classroom teachers as scheduled in previous years. Jr High and High School parents are being asked to email individual teachers they would like to conference with to begin the scheduling process.

Goal Setting at Robinson: A student's belief about his or her ability to reach a goal has an impact on effort, attitude, and resiliency in achieving that goal. Four new student goal tracking blackboards for each grade level (3,4,5, and 6) just went up near the gymnasium at Robinson School. Teachers and students will be setting individual goals, and we will track that success here. #HounDawgStrong
