Tomorrow November 3rd first through eighth grade will be testing. The whole school will be on a testing schedule starting at 8:30 A:M. Please make sure to have your students on time, eat breakfast and get plenty of rest. Can't wait to see how much our scorpions know.
Student Meal Updates
We understand that recent cuts to SNAP funding and the temporary lapse in benefits may cause concern for many of our Roosevelt families. Please rest assured that all Roosevelt students will continue to receive free breakfast and lunch every school day, regardless of any changes to SNAP.
Today our school held a fire drill as part of our regular safety practice.
Students did a great job following directions and staying calm. These drills help us ensure everyone knows what to do in an emergency.
Thank you for your support!
