This affects the entire community; please make the right choice of when to keep your children home from school.

Calling All 5th Grade Parents!
Come to a Virtual Bill Roberts Middle School Mixer on November 12th! MS Mixers are informal gatherings with Dr. Cohen hosted by a current MS parent during which we enjoy a mix of fun, drinks and MS discussion. This adult-only evening is open to current 5th grade Bill Roberts parents/guardians.
These events will now be held through zoom. We are still limiting the number to ten to keep it small to make it easier to ask questions, etc. We know this limits the number of people that can attend. We will be adding more mixers soon! If you sign up, we will send you a zoom link for the event via email.
Space will be very limited. Learn more and RSVP HERE!
To Our 5th Grade Families: You are 100% guaranteed a spot next year for Bill Roberts Middle School if you select BR as choice #1. Every student going into 6th grade must fill out a DPS Choice Form in February.
