About Robins...
Robins Elementary is located in Tucson, Arizona and is part of the Tucson Unified School District (TUSD). Our school was established in 1994. Our vision is a standard of excellence in a welcome and engaging learning community. We envision our students as the leaders of the 21st century with the skills to problem solve, collaborate, and interact in the world around them.
We are a 21st Century school which has been highly performing or excelling since 2004.
We are an OMA Gold(Opening Minds through the Arts) school. Founded on scientific findings about music's role in brain development and education, Opening Minds Through the Arts (OMA) is a leader in a national movement to integrate arts education with core curriculum.
We have recently (2011) become a GATE cluster school, and are stretching our wings to accomodate our new 6th grade starting in the 2011-2012 school year. Please feel free to contact us and ask questions during this exciting transitional time.
Located in the Tucson Mountain foothills, Robins Elementary is a Certified National Wildlife Federation Habitat. Our location in this natural desert setting inspires learning about nature and the world around us.
