Message from the Principal

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. This year is flying by, and we only have three weeks until winter break. A reminder that the last day of school before winter break is Thursday, December 19, and it is a super minimum day with grades kindergarten through 8th grade being dismissed at 12 o’clock.

Tour season is upon us. We are starting tours for prospective Roosevelt families this week on Tuesday. Something we tried last year and feel was very successful was having parents lead tours. I do a short introduction from 8:30-8:45am in the cafeteria, followed by a 45-minute tour of the school with parents, and ending in the cafeteria for any final questions with me. We found this a wonderful opportunity for parents to talk to other parents about their experiences at Roosevelt. We provide you with a tour schedule and talking points, although we encourage to talk about your own experiences at Roosevelt and why you chose our school. If you are interested in participating in even one tour, we would love you sign up using this link.

Image result for math festivalWe are hosting a really fun Math Festival this week on Wednesday evening, December 4 from 6-7:30pm in the cafeteria. It is a wonderfully interactive festival with lots of fun and challenging math games and activities for all ages. Dinner will be available for purchase, which makes it an easy night not to cook. We hope you are able to join us for this exciting event.

Winterfest is around the corner on Tuesday, December 10. We will be letting all teachers know whether they are performing in the first or second half. They will reach out to the families in their class. We look forward to seeing you at this wonderful annual event.

– Principal Tina Mercer
