Husky PACK! This is the last week to raise funds for the PTO fun run. If we collectively raise $20k as a building I will have to be silly stringed in front of the whole school at an assembly. Every dollar helps support the awesome things the Roosevelt PTO does each year. Let's see if we can hit that $20k goal!!

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

• This year no students will be allowed to walk home from Roosevelt. All students will need to ride the bus or be car pickup.

• 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.
  

Note: All traffic will be required to turn right onto Commerce Rd. No left turn will be allowed to keep the flow of traffic moving.

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.

Kudos to all of the WBSD students that participated in the West Bloomfield Public Library Summer Reading Program. Students logged the time that they spent reading over the summer from June 11 - September 2.
