3rd Grade & Beyond!…
We know that transitioning to 3rd grade involves more than just moving downstairs for our current Roosevelt families! As your 2nd grader is growing and developing academically, we want you to see how PBL grows with them in the Intermediate grades. This is an evening where you will find out what PBL looks like in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade. Students whose parents attend this evening event will receive a Raccoon Buck and a Free Dress Pass. Students will also be entered into a drawing to win a pair of Roosevelt sweatpants!
Parents of 2nd graders not currently attending Roosevelt are also welcome to attend. Please call our school office to reserve a spot.
