RMS Wildcat Weekly
August 14, 2020 Information for our Families
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL IS SEPTEMBER 8th!
Greetings Wildcat Families,
We hope that you have had another great week! Our Roosevelt office staff and administration has returned and has been hard at work preparing for September 8th. We are completing our school's safe reopening plan and finalizing details on the health and safety preparations we are making for students and staff. As Superintendent Dr. Doyle shared in his most recent Community Update August 12, 2020, our district's School Reopening website is comprehensive and informative and contains a wealth of helpful documents and links. Check out the FAQs for some great information and to stay informed.
Now that we have completed the re-registration process, our administrators and counselors are making necessary modifications to our schedules to accommodate these registrations. Our Roosevelt Instructional Leadership Team has also been collaborating regularly to develop an engaging and effective Vista Virtual Student Schedule aligned to the VUSD Sample Middle School Schedule. We will be sharing our schedule in the next week.
We are also organizing our Chromebook, textbook, planner, and materials distribution days, and we will be sending you a detailed plan about your assigned pick up days soon. These days will replace the traditional "registration" days this year. For returning students, reimbursements for cancelled events have been mailed out to our families by our district office. If there are any questions or concerns, please reach out to Ms. Martha at extension 63012 for assistance.
Thank you for your continued support, patience, and collaboration as we gear up for the new year!
Sincerely,
Heather Golly
Welcome to our new Assistant Principal Sochie Schmitz!
Message from Mrs. Schmitz:
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as a new Roosevelt Wildcat Team Member! As your new Assistant Principal, I will work diligently to serve and support students, teachers, and staff to continue developing an outstanding learning community where families can be proud to send their children.
I am a California native, the youngest of 8 children, wife, and mother of two amazing children & two pups. Our son made us “Lala & Lolo” 5 years ago with our first grandchild, Chloe— we are obsessed! Keeping busy with family and friends is my favorite thing to do outside of school.
This is not my first experience working here at RMS; I started my career here as a classified staff member in 1994 while I completed my college education. I have taught middle school here at RMS, Madison Middle School, Rincon Middle School, & Guajome Park Academy. My experience includes working as a site ELD coordinator, ALL/Literacy Coach at Bobier, Elementary AP, and Elementary Principal.
Again, Looking forward to the day when we can all meet in person!
Make-up Textbook Return
We need your student textbooks back from the 2019-2020 school year! Without these materials back at RMS, we cannot prepare to distribute materials for the new school year. Please return your student textbooks.
We are having a make-up textbook return day on Monday, August 17 from 9:30 to 2:00. Please bring your student's materials and remain in your car. We'll have you drive through the parking lot and return the materials. Thank you!
