Message from the Principal

Image result for thanksgiving schoolI’d like to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving! This is a wonderful time to reflect on what we are thankful for. I’m so grateful to be part of an amazing school community with caring and involved parents and inspiring students. I get to come to Roosevelt every day and work with an incredible team of professionals.

I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable week filled with quality family time and delicious food. I hope to see many of you at the math festival on December 4!

– Principal Tina Mercer

Sensory Tool Wishlist

Sensory tools help children focus better in class and help with self regulation. Yes – fidget spinners can be a wonderful thing…. The school has put together a wishlist of best items to bring to the classroom. We made it easy- click on the Amazon link and they will be shipped straight to the school! A great and easy way of helping the school get what we need!
