Drop off and Pick up News…
You should have received a letter from Redwood City’s traffic department in last Thursday’s folder about the new drop off zones. Please pay attention to the new loading zone areas and come down from Alameda de las Pulgas to use the drop zones. The drop off zone times are 7:30am to 8:30am and then 1:00pm to 3:00pm on school days. Students are to be dropped off and picked up in this area. The curb on Euclid will also be painted white and drop zone signs added in the coming weeks.
Book Fair…
The Spring Book Fair is scheduled to be held this week in the library. (I didn’t receive any confirmation of the days or hours, but if I do, I will post it on the parent blog.) If you are a Kindergarten parent, make sure you’ve signed up for a time slot to help with the Book Fair during lunch hours and after school. Please contact your child’s teacher or our librarian Paulette Elliott at pelliott@rcsdk8.net with any questions, or to help out.
Family Author Night…
On Wednesday, March 21, Roosevelt is hosting a Family Author Night. An author is coming to read her book to students and will also have a presentation and raffle. Dinner will be served and 2nd grade families are being asked to help with the food service before the presentation begins. Please contact Bonnie Courtney – Rodriguez at bejrodriguez@yahoo.com to volunteer.
See’s Candies Fundraiser…
Your child should have brought home an order form for the See’s Candy fundraiser. This is a fundraiser to raise money for the PTA. You may send your order forms with your child or turn in your order forms to the school office until Wednesday, March 21. Please make any checks payable to “Roosevelt PTA”. Thanks for your support!
Box Tops…
It’s the last week for the Boys vs Girls Box Tops contest! The winners will win an extra recess! The contest starts Monday, March 5 and ends on Friday, March 16. Box Tops may be turned in to the Boy or Girl boxes in the school office. Look for Box Tops on products such as Kleenex, Cheerios, Hefty, Ziploc, Huggies, etc.
On the Parent Blog…
Did you know that Mr Williams’ 5th graders are producing a news show vlog? You can check out their first episode on the parent blog. There’s also a Girls Running Club club for girls in grades 3-5. They are training after school twice a week and will be entering the Lollipop Family Fun Run on May 9. One of the girls will be posting about the club this week. Mrs Tsuchiyama received a grant to teach art on Wednesdays after school and will be hosting an open house to show off their work on April 11. Take a look at the parent blog for pictures and updates about this club as well. www.rooseveltparents.com
Grade Configuration Committee News…
Here is your chance to be heard by the district! The district’s Grade Configuration Committee has asked the district to survey families within the district about current grade configurations and programs. The committee will use the responses they get from this survey when they give their recommendation to the board about future programs and grade configurations in the district. On the list of things this committee is looking at is Roosevelt’s request to expand to a K-8 school. We would love to get as many Roosevelt families as possible to fill out the survey, so make sure you either take the survey on line or turn in the paper survey that came home in last week’s Thursday folder.
The survey only takes a few minutes to complete.
Spring Drama Camp…
TheatreWorks is offering a drama camp for students in K-6 during Spring Break week (April 2 – April 6). Students will get to experience drama, music, movement, puppetry, juggling, singing and acting! The camp is being offered at a reduced rate of $190 for the 9am-3pm camp. To register or get more information, call 650-463-7146 or email dramaschool@theatreworks.org or visit their website at www.theareworks.org/learn
