Return to School Update
Hello Roosevelt Community, The safety, health and well-being of our students, staff and community continues to remain at the forefront of all decisions at the Roosevelt School District. We continue to monitor the Maricopa County COVID-19 data, specifically for our South Phoenix community (zip codes 85040, 85041 and 85042), and are using the information to make the most informed and safest decisions regarding returning to school in-person.
Based on the current COVID-19 data for our community, our students will remain in a virtual learning setting until at least the end of the first trimester of this school year, which is November 6, 2020. We will continue to evaluate the data on a weekly basis and solicit input from our families as to their preferences regarding in-person learning and virtual learning options. In preparation for a safe return to in-person learning when appropriate, our district has developed a brief return to school surveyfor our families.
It is extremely important that we gather information from our families on their preferred learning setting. Families can complete the survey to provide their preferences and feedback. Once equipped with the survey results and the Maricopa County data, we will determine next steps. To read the complete letter from Superintendent, Dr. Quintin Boyce, visit our return to school page.
Return to School (Learning Settings) Survey
The Roosevelt School District is actively planning to offer in-person learning once the health metrics established by the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, specifically for our district community, are supportive of a safe return. We are also committed to continuing to offer an all-virtual learning option for students through the end of the 2020-2021 school year. In order to appropriately plan for the safe re-opening of our schools to in-person learning, we need updated and accurate information from families on their desired Learning Setting.
Please review the following important information and complete one survey for each one of your children by Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2020 on our Learning Settings Page.

Remote Learning is Now in Session!
The Roosevelt School District No. 66 welcomed back all of our bright young people for the 2020-2021 school year!

Bold Virtual Teaching Highlight Video
As we all know, the 2020-21 school year has started off a lot differently than in prior years. Our students and teachers have boldly adapted to the methods of remote learning. This is in large part due to the commitment and dedication of our incredible Roosevelt teachers, who continue to navigate through these current circumstances to provide innovative learning at the highest levels possible. Here is a short video highlighting some of the bold and innovating teaching that has been happening virtually. You will see clips from the Phoenix 11 TV segments, teachers virtually instructing their classes from their classrooms and our Exceptional Student Services team providing both online instruction and 1-on-1 services to our amazing students.
