Back to school this week!

Don’t forget: first day of school is this Wednesday 8/18 at 8:15 AM.

In case you missed Tina Mercer’s update this week, you can read it here. It’s full of great information. Superintendent Baker also sent out a district wide update that includes links to important health information that applies to all schools.

If you did not attend Maze Days, please note all students must bring their completed COVID screening forms printed out until an electronic method is made available.  Copies will be sent home in the first day of school packets if you have not received them.

Supply lists have been uploaded to the PTA website – check here.

Annual PTA donation 

If possible, we ask that parents donate $250 for each family. If you are not able to donate that amount, please consider donating another amount – every bit helps! PTA donations cover community events, enrichment activities, and teacher and student needs on campus.

Make your annual Roosevelt Enrichment Fund  donation here.
