welcomeback2

Hi everyone,

Welcome back to school and the first newsletter of the year!  We’re ready for another great one here at Roosevelt. We’re going to post this in a few places the first week to make sure no one misses anything – please don’t mark anything as spam!

This Week at Roosevelt

Monday 8/22

  • 8:00am: First Day of School (Transitional Kindergarten doors open 8:20am)
    This is the day we’ve been waiting for all summer! Be sure to leave extra time to arrive since a few of us will be lost and because the upper parking lot will be closed to public access – likely causing greater walking distances from street parking spots.
