The fourth grade students have been introduced to a computerized reading program. Accelerated Reader lets the children pick their own books to read. After they read their story, they take a test in the computer lab to check comprehension. Students receive points for questions they answered correctly. The program continues into the upper grades also.
 
 

Students in the fifth and seventh grades participate in the DARE program. This is a program that teaches children to resist drugs and is conducted by our local police officers.
 
 

Royal Heroes is a program instituted by Robinson School's principal, Mr. Kevin J. Moran.  A Royal Hero is an everyday citizen who promotes the qualities of caring, respect and commitment.  Students nominate relatives, neighbors and professional who make a difference in our community.  The awards are presented at a school assembly in the spring.
 
 

An eighth grade project is the production of the school newspaper, The Royal Courier.  Students and teachers from the entire school contribute articles, poetry and essays to the newspaper.  The eighth grade staff works on the layout, editing and proofreading of the paper in the school's computer technology lab. Pictures from the digital camera as well as students' illustrations serve to enhance the final product. The Royal Courier is published twice during the school year, in December and June.
 
 

All students in the eighth grade have a hand in the creation and layout of the yearbook.  The bulk of the typing for the yearbook is done in the computer technology lab.  Two editors are chosen from the eighth grade class.  It is usually the most extensive yearbook among the elementary schools in the city of Bayonne.  The school mascot, the griffin, is incorporated into the design of the yearbook.

"Wee Deliver" is part of the United States Postal Service's National Campaign to Stamp Out Illiteracy. The concept of establishing an In-School Post Office (ISPO) is not unique. The first postal / school cooperative endeavor in New Jersey took place in 1991. "Wee Deliver" provides children with real-life experiences in which to apply basic skills: addressing envelopes, using the mail system, writing a letter, using punctuation appropriate for letters, locating street addresses and using zip codes. Here at Robinson School, the third graders are developing a sense of job responsibility. Their goal is to unify the entire school body through a student-centered, school wide communication system.
