Important Information
Lots of important information to know this week, including asking you to take a short survey. Thanks for taking the time to read this and stay in the know!
~ Teacher Appreciation Week: Monday, May 4th through Friday, May 8th is Teacher Appreciation Week. All principals are encouraging our West community to join us in honoring our teachers by flying community ribbons. Families are encouraged to put a RED ribbon around a tree in their yard or mailbox in support of teachers. The ribbons should be kept up for the week and regardless of where teachers go in town, they will see the ribbons and feel appreciated. Ribbons should start to fly on Monday, May 4th!
~ IMPORTANT E-Learning Parent Survey: Please, please, please take a moment to complete this short (only 8 brief questions) survey to help us guide our work the remainder of this school year. If you could complete this ASAP it would be appreciated, as we can possibly attend to some of this feedback during our planning days on May 1 & 4. As a reminder, students will not have school on May 1 & 4.
~ Online Book Fair: Roosevelt is hosting an Online Book Fair April 30 - May 13! Even though our school is closed, we still want to make the Book Fair available for our entire school community. Take advantage of free shipping (shipped to your home) on book-only orders over $25. Plus, all purchases benefit our school.

If you have anything to share, please do--maybe your kiddo will be featured in next week's video message! Or just share something they are learning or doing--those are great, too!

~ Summer Backpack Food Information & Sign Up: Backpack Food Program is opening enrollments for their Summer Feeding. Students will receive a box of food delivered directly to their homes (via a delivery service partner), and it will contain all weekend food items (breakfast, lunch, and snack) for that month. Backpack's first box will cover weekends from June 6th - July 5th and the cut-off date for enrolling for this box is May 26th. Enrollment will be open all summer, but they'll have cut-off dates so they'll know exactly how much needs to be packed up. Families can be signed up/enrolled here: https://forms.gle/9GijweiVPTfqG3gPA
