Message from the Principal

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family. I would like to express my thanks to the entire Roosevelt community who have made me feel so welcome.

The air is finally clear, however we are expecting rain, so we may be having rainy day recesses and lunches this week. If you need to reschedule your parent-teacher conference, due to the school closure, please reach out to your child’s teacher.

We have a lot going on this week: PTA meeting on Tuesday evening, board meeting on Wednesday, School Site Council meeting on Thursday, and garden work day on Saturday. Second grade will be performing on Tuesday to start the PTA meeting, and hopefully rain will not deter motivated gardeners on Saturday.

On Wednesday, the school board will be voting on Dr. Baker’s recommendations for changes to our school district. While none of his recommendations directly impact Roosevelt, they will impact the schools around us.

Don’t forget to put Winterfest on your calendar for Tuesday, December 4th. Classes will be performing with their buddy classes. The show will be divided into two sessions. The following classrooms will be performing in the 5:30pm show: Bamberger (TK), Mallari (K), Torres (K), McPeek (2), Tse (2), Sudol (K-4), Testa (4), Volz (4), Blackburn (5), Holm (6), and Kao (6). The 7:00pm show will include: Coffey (1), Mosso (1), Tsuchiyama (1), Hinojosa (3), Weindel (3), Soares (5), Gardella (5-8), Bates (6-8), Hong (7), Le (7), Leydig (7), and Marsh (8). The event will take place at the Peninsula Covenant Church at 3560 Farm Hill Blvd, Redwood City.

Look for more news this coming week on the Math Festival coming up on December 11. This will be a fantastic event and lots of fun.

– Principal Tina Mercer
