1/14 - This Week at Roosevelt

Message from the Principal

Parent tours started this past week, and we also had a successful Meet RCSD Night. The deadline for School of Choice is February 1, so if you know anyone who is interested in Roosevelt for next year, please encourage them to put in their application by that date to have the best chance of joining us next year. We also have our Kindergarten Information Night on Thursday at 6pm, so please encourage interested families to join us.

I’m excited that our Chess and Spanish after-school enrichment classes are starting this week. Chess will continue at lunch time this Tuesday, and MV Code begins soon.

Over the next month or so, we will learn of the impact on Roosevelt of the school closures and mergers. I will keep you posted as I learn more.

A reminder regarding attendance: RCSD does not get paid by the state when your children are not in school (whether it be an excused or unexcused absence). If you are planning a trip that is five days or more, please make sure you fill in the independent study forms. This ensures that we are still funded for those days, and more importantly, your child can keep up to date with their studies.

A quick reminder that Monday, January 21 is a holiday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. In the words of the man himself, “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.”
