5th Grade Parents…
This year Roosevelt will be hosting Moving on Up to Middle School! on November 3 at 6:30pm in Room 8. This is an information night for parents of current 5th graders about the Middle School programs at Roosevelt. As your 5th grader is growing and developing academically, we want you to see how PBL grows with them in the Middle School grades. Students whose parents attend will receive a Free Dress Pass, 1 Raccoon Buck, a homework pass AND a chance to win a pair of Roosevelt sweatpants!

Parents of 5th graders not currently attending Roosevelt are also welcome to attend. Please call our school office to reserve a spot.

Kindergarten Tour Night…
Do you know anyone with a child that is eligible for Kindergarten next year? Once again, in addition to daytime tours, Roosevelt School is hosting a Kindergarten Tour Night to be held on Thursday, November 5 from 6:30pm to 7:30pm.  Contact Roosevelt’s school office at 650-369-5597 to RSVP for this event and/or to schedule a daytime tour.

We always need help spreading the word about this event, so if you need flyers to bring to friends or your preschool, please call or stop by the school office.

Donors Choose…
There is still a Donors Choose request out there for Roosevelt. Please share the link on your Facebook page, Twitter, or email to get the word out to fund these projects for our school:

Project Name: Help My 6th Graders Become Writers & Researchers! Ms. Kao has a Donors Choose request for Chromebooks for her 6th grade classroom. “With my own classroom set, my students will be able to consistently work on their projects and their writing, without me having to work around the needs of the other middle school teachers.” www.donorschoose.org/project/help-my-6th-graders-become-writers-and-r/1715116/
