Roosevelt hosted an event for parents of K-5 English Learners from across the district to support reading at home. The West Bloomfield Township Library registered families for library cards and shared reading resources. EL staff members and literacy coaches provided read-at-home resources and taught parents how to practice with their student for comprehension and download eBooks. Thank you to the parents who attended this event!

Roosevelt Families,
Starting on January 6, 2020, we will be inputting missed instructional time due to late arrival and early release into Powerschool. Please see the notes below outlining how missed instructional time will be coded in Powerschool.
Students who arrive late to school between 9:15am and 10:15am will be considered tardy.
Students arriving after 10:15am will be considered half-day (am) absence.
Students who are picked up early between 3:07pm-4:07pm will be considered early release. (**2:07pm-3:07pm on early release Mondays**)
Students picked up before 3:07pm will be considered half-day (pm) absence. (**2:07pm on early release Mondays**)
Students who are not picked up on time at the end of the day will attend Kids Klub and a $25 fee will be charged
Thank you for continuing to support the educational process at Roosevelt by ensuring students are in class as much as possible.
