Mark your calendars for the following events at Roosevelt:
Please note: Many classes are finishing PBL units and the presentation dates and times are listed if we’re given the information to post. Anyone is welcome to attend any PBL presentation and not just the ones in your child’s classroom. One of the requirements of PBL is to present to an outside audience so more audience members are always welcome.

Parent Coffee at 8:00am in Room 1. Come and enjoy a cup of coffee with other parents and Principal Girardi on Monday morning! This is a very casual meeting so if you can only drop in for a few minutes, you’re still welcome to attend. Spanish translation is available for those that need it. If you have a younger child, you are welcome to bring him/her. Tell a friend!
