Homecoming is next week! September 28th- October 2nd. This years theme is “A Knight at the Park” 🖤🏰⭐️🎡

Mrs. Marler’s 4th graders are hard at work diving deeper into their books—learning how to ask and answer key questions to sharpen their reading skills and unlock new ideas. Teaching our students to think critically and engage thoughtfully with what they read is just one of the many ways we strive for academic excellence every single day.
Way to go, 4th grade! Keep turning those pages! 📖👏

Three more sleeps until THE FAIR IS HERE! 📚🥳🎉 Here's 3 things you can do to make sure your student is ready for opening day.
☝️Prepare their e-wallet on our fair homepage to make sure their funds are ready to go
✌️Check out how to support other students are Roosevelt with our "Share the Fair" feature.

There is no school for nearly all students today, so enjoy your well-deserved day off!
The PM Pre-K WILL be in session today though.
Meanwhile, our staff is spending the day engaging in professional development to enhance learning for our students.

Reminder: There is no school for students tomorrow, Friday, September 18th, while our teachers and staff participate in a Professional Development day.
We’re spending the day learning, innovating, and preparing new ways to inspire our students. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday, September 21st, ready to grow! 📖👏


What a fantastic day launching Cohort 3 of Black Knight Insight!
We loved taking our community members behind the scenes today to give them a firsthand look at how our schools operate, grow, and inspire students every single day. There was plenty of time spent in various classrooms from kindergarten through 6th grade. Here is a look at where our journey took us:
Truman Learning Center: Explored early childhood development insights with Ashley Bono from Parents as Teachers, plus an inside look at Kindergarten instruction.
Washington-Franklin Elementary: Walked over to dive into classroom instruction and learned how Rachel Armstrong guides our students in Digital Citizenship.
Jefferson Elementary: Took a school bus ride over to learn about the incredible impact of our Title I Intervention programs.
Lincoln Intermediate: Enjoyed a delicious Chick-fil-A box lunch while sitting right alongside our 5th and 6th graders to chat about their experiences during these important transition years.
Roosevelt Elementary: Finished our day exploring the vibrant world of Elementary Elective Classes.
Thank you to all of our community participants for spending your day with us, asking great questions, and seeing the heart of our district in action. We are so proud to share the work our teachers, staff and students do every day!💛⚔️🖤

Please join us in celebrating Walter Moore, our recently co-crowned Classified Staff Member of the Year for 2025-26! 🎉🏅
We had a tie in the voting, so he will have to share the award, but two is better than one! As a custodian at Roosevelt, Walter keeps our school clean, safe, and running smoothly every single day. But he does so much more than that. His warm smile, endless patience, and steady encouragement brighten the halls for our students and staff alike. Walter is the heart of our school community, and this recognition couldn't go to a more deserving person.
Congratulations, Walter!
