Roosevelt families,

I sent the letter below earlier today with regards to supporting the traffic concerns at dismissal time. Today it went much better but I still need your help. We had traffic backed up on the side of Commerce road starting at 2:50pm. Please review the letter and wait to line up for your students until 3:10pm. The Roosevelt staff will work very hard to get students to cars safe and quick.

Thank you,

Mr. West

Well, do we have an opportunity for you! Our school district’s United We Walk Committee has an event each year celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The students have the opportunity to create a design that will be the inspiration for our 2023 United We Walk Button. I would like to personally invite you to encourage your students to participate in the United We Walk Button Contest. Students can draw a piece of art about what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life and legacy means to them focusing on Dr. King's message: "I Have A Dream. . .1963-2023. We know that our students are awesome!! Let's give them a chance to share their amazing skills. The attached information will provide more details. Please submit any contest entries to me at Jennifer.Graham@wbsd.org no later than Friday, December 9. Thank you for your help, time, and support. (Copies of the form are also available at Roosevelt's the Main Office)

If you are unable to pick your student up by 3:30pm they will be taken to the Kids Klub program. Please understand there is a fee associated with this supervision. You can contact community education with any questions regarding before and after school care.

Bell Schedule 2021-2022

8:20am-3:12pm

Arrival

• The doors will open at 8:10am for the 2022-2023 school year. Due to a lack of adult supervision students will not be allowed in the building until 8:10am.

• If students are dropped off prior to 8:10am they will be required to wait outside the building. (Note adult supervision will not be provided prior to 8:10am)

• Students will enter the building, go to their locker, and then immediately to class. Staff will be present to greet students at the classroom door starting at 8:10am.

• Our goal is to reduce the amount of time students are in the hallways congregating with other students.

Dismissal

• Students who are riding the bus will be dismissed at 3:10pm.

• Car Line pickup will start at 3:10pm and will dismiss from the Commerce Rd. entrance/exit.

We're excited to welcome back parent volunteers in the 22-23 school year!

Unscheduled visitors coming to the building will not be permitted to enter past the front office.

Drop-in visitors will not be allowed to enter the building without a pre-scheduled appointment. We will continue this approach in an effort to maximize safety & security while minimizing disruptions to learning.

Families are welcome to schedule in-person meetings with administrators, teachers, counselors, and other staff. These meetings should be scheduled in advance and communicated with the main office. The option to Zoom for meetings will also continue to be available.

Volunteers:

• Must have approval from the principal and teacher before volunteering.
• Interested volunteers must also complete a volunteer form.
• ICHAT background checks are still required for all non-student volunteers.

Roosevelt Elementary qualifies as a Title I building. With Title I funding we are able to provide multiple resources to students that support academic success. Some of these resources include but are not limited to,

• Intervention support in the areas of reading, writing and math.

• Before and after school program

• Summer academic programs

• Academic resources

This year food services will be providing the opportunity for all students to receive free breakfast but not free lunch. With that being said, I encourage you to still complete the application if you feel you may qualify for services. The amount of Title I funding Roosevelt will receive is based on these percentages.

Free and Reduced Lunch Application

The goal is to make sure that no child goes hungry on the weekend. Run by volunteers, there is NO cost to families.This program sends six non-perishable meals home each Friday of the school year.

Staff: If you know of a family that could benefit, please forward along the application. For more information visit: https://www.blessingsinabackpackmi.org/west-bloomfield-keego-harbor/
