Dear Irene Lopez families,
Last Friday, a storm brought water into multiple areas of our campus. Our buildings are safe and teams are working to dry and clean the affected spaces.
To keep learning on track we have made a few temporary adjustments to some classroom locations. Your child may spend time in a different room while cleaning and drying are completed. Staff will guide students to the correct location each morning and during transitions. Arrival and dismissal routines remain the same.
Thank you for your flexibility and support. If you have any questions, please call the front office.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.



Bus Schedule Change 9-26-25.
Route 303 will operate with a Sub Driver in Bus 105.

Dear Families,
In this messaging you will see a link for the Roosevelt School District Alternate Income Eligibility Form.
Completing this form is very important because it helps our schools secure the funding needed to provide programs, resources, and services for all students. The information you provide directly supports your child’s education.
We kindly ask that you complete the online form no later than Friday, September 19.
Thank you for taking a few moments to support our school and students. Together, we can ensure our children receive the resources they need to succeed.

Missing even a few days each month can make it harder for students to catch up. Let’s build strong attendance habits together.
How many days has YOUR child missed? Make sure they are in class and on track.

Dear Lopez Parents,
Some of you may have received an email from Lifetouch regarding the option to pre-purchase fall photos. Please note that this school year we will not be using Lifetouch for our school pictures.
We kindly ask that you do not pre-purchase your student’s photos through Lifetouch. We are excited to announce that we will be partnering with a different photography company this year.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Family Coordinator, Jenny Burnside.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
