Message from the Superintendent Regarding Returning to School
June 24, 2020
Hello Roosevelt Community,
As we continue working through our plan to return to school for the 2020-2021 school year, I wanted to provide you with a brief video address updating you on our work. Click here for a brief video update .
The district’s return to school task force has been hard at work since the school closures began to develop a thorough, safe and effective plan to return to school in the fall.
As a district we want to ensure that all of our community is heard from and acknowledged. To that end, we created surveys to solicit feedback from our internal and external community regarding their thoughts on returning to school in the fall. Additionally, we will be hosting a series of virtual family and community information sessions to share the latest updates with our community.
District Hosting Virtual Family & Community Information Session Regarding Returning to School for 2020-2021 -- June 30, 2020

A session in English will start at 5 p.m. and will be given in Spanish beginning at 5:30 p.m. both online via Zoom .During this virtual session, our Roosevelt Superintendent, Dr. Quintin Boyce, will provide an update regarding Roosevelt’s return to school plan.The first 25 people to register and participate in the event will receive a Safeway grocery gift card!

The district will continue distributing meals during the summer at each location through June 30,2020! The schools will continue serving three grab-and-go meals at the current school site locations from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on Mondays and Thursdays. The food will now be distributed out of the school cafeteria buildings in an effort to keep all food, staff and community out of the heat. C.O. Greenfield, Amy Houston and John F. Kennedy Schools will continue serving drive up meal service from Greenfield’s parking lot from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. For more information on the food distribution program, click here.
Welcome to Valley View Leadership Academy
DUE TO THE STATE-WIDE SCHOOL CLOSURES, ALL ROOSEVELT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 66 SCHOOLS WILL BE CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
Meals will be served to students twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays only. Families with children 18 years of age and younger will be able to pick up three breakfast and lunch meals on Monday and pick up three breakfast and lunch meals on Thursday for the rest of the week, including Saturday. As we consider the needs of our students and families during this unprecedented time, we are excited to now provide an extra meal for Saturday to support our students over the weekend. View more information on the food distribution program webpage.
Just because our building is closed doesn’t mean our Student Council isn’t putting in the work! President Khalaya DeLaTorre greets our student body as the leader she is! Enjoy her address and stay tuned for some social media challenges our STUCO is developing over the next week. #closednotclosed #leaderinme
