Welcome!
Winship-Robbins Elementary School District was formed in July 2005 when Robbins Elementary, a part of Yuba City Unified School District, joined Winship Elementary. Winship had been a one-school district in Sutter County since 1863, and Robbins School dates back to 1927. The reorganization of the two small schools into one district has combined resources and strengthened both schools.
Robbins has a teaching staff of nine, and the classes are combined in different ways depending on the number
of students in each grade. For 2011/12, we have a full day kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades.
The 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades change classes and rotate through 3 teachers throughout the day. There
are six aides to assist both in the classroom and in the afternoon intervention program for students who
need a little more support.
Winship currently has two teachers. One teaches kindergarten through 3rd grade, and the other teaches 4th-8th
grade. Both teachers share PE, art, and music classes. If we get enough students enrolling on inter-district
transfers, we may add a third teacher. There are two aides in the morning, and one who continues in the
afternoon to do the intervention program.
Each site has a breakfast and lunch program, a school secretary-bookkeeper, a bus driver/maintenance person,
and a part-time custodian. Free bus transportation is available from the Yuba City area to Winship, and from
Knights Landing area to Robbins.
Our rural atmosphere and old-fashioned family values are a rarity in this era, and we are proud to say that our schools offer sound educational training along with a good dose of character. Our test scores have improved dramatically over the past couple of years, and we are continually fine-tuning our curriculum and our staff to offer quality education to small groups of lucky children.

It's almost the end of the 2011-12 school year. If you are a new or returning student or family to our District, we welcome you! If you are considering joining our District, please call for a personal tour of our two wonderful small rural schools. We specialize in individualized attention and educating the whole child.
Our schools offer lots of field trips and family events. 4th, 5th and 6th grade students from both schools will attend State Scientist Day at the State Capitol in Sacramento and both schools will have a presentation by the Marysville Charter Academy for the Arts in May. Both sites had fabulous activities for the last day of school before spring break. Our district offer wonderful winter programs, giving our students the opportunity to shine on the stage for an evening of fun for the whole family and the communities.
Both schools currently have room for more interdistrict students. Winship School offers free bus transportation from Yuba City, and we can make arrangements to pick up students in Sutter or Meridian as well. Robbins School picks up children in Knights Landing.
If you're looking for a wonderful small school in which to enroll your child, please come check us out! We are in the process of updating our website, so please check back for more news.
