reminderTomorrow, May 1
Don’t forget! Tomorrow is the Teacher & Staff Appreciation Luncheon at 11:45 in Room 14. If you are bringing something for the luncheon, please remember to drop it off in the school office tomorrow morning or bring it to Room 14 by 11:30am. Please remember, we are unable to heat anything up, so if you are bringing an item that needs to be served hot, please bring it already heated at 11:30am. If you are unable to contribute food to the event, you can still send in $5 with your child to cover some of the cost of the food purchased by the PTA. Roosevelt’s 3rd grade families and PTA are hosting this event. Thank you to those that have volunteered to help! We can always use more help, so feel free to join us for set up at 8:00am, serving at 11:30am, or clean up at 1:00pm.

Kindergarten has Early Bird Schedule.

Thursday, May 2
Please join us for a Safe Routes to School – Walk & Bike Study from 7:30am-10:00am. We’ll meet promptly outside the main office to walk around the school and neighborhood with City staff and a consultant team to assess school commute conditions around Roosevelt School. Information gathered during this meeting will help develop Suggested Walking and Bicycling to School maps as well as develop recommendations to improve walking and bicycling conditions for students around schools.

Your participation will help to identify:

-Suggested routes for walking and biking to school
-How to improve safe school access for all children
-Ways to encourage more children to walk, bike or carpool
