Message from the Principal

I hope you are able to enjoy a long weekend in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Parent tours continue this week on Tuesday and Friday, with our last tour on January 30 prior to the February 1 School of Choice application deadline. Remember, 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. Thank you so much to the parents who joined us for Kindergarten Information Night last Thursday. We had about thirty parents in attendance.

In case you are wondering what to have for dinner on Wednesday, consider going to the Canyon Inn (587 Canyon Road, Redwood City 94062). Just make sure to mention that you are from Roosevelt School, as we get a portion of the proceeds.

If you are the parent of a 5thgrader, there is an Outdoor Ed information night on Thursday. If you would like to more about what your child will be doing and where they will be going, please join Ms. Soares, Mrs. Blackburn, and me. As a former 5thgrade teacher, I can tell you what an amazing experience this is for our students.

The Reading Fair deadlines are coming up. Boards are due on Monday, January 28, and the event is on Tuesday, January 29. It is a wonderful Roosevelt event that can be a great opportunity for the entire family to share their love of reading.

Lego Night will also be here before you know it. Make sure you mark your calendars for Friday, February 8.

A weekly 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.
