A Message from Dr. Davenport
Another fun week on Fulton St. is in the books. On Thursday, we had our Mother-Son Western Dance and it was a great night for our boys and their moms. While most of the dancing turned into balloon fights, our boys enjoyed their time in their boots and cowboy hats. A huge thanks to the Grade 5 team and all parent volunteers for making this night happen for our Bears.
I also want to thank all parents who attended our PTO meeting on Wednesday. While it was a quick reschedule from the original meeting date due to weather, thank you for showing up and contributing your time, thoughts, and concerns. Our next PTO meeting will be on February 21st at 5:15PM.
On Wednesday, February 1st all classes will be taking their 2022-2023 School Year classroom photos. We are asking for all students to be in their Roosevelt uniforms for the pictures.

Our February calendar will be sent home with student this upcoming week as well.
Our students are still completing our Middle-Of-Year Diagnostics Assessments. It is important for our scholars to be present during these times. There is a list of these assessments below so parents are know when they occur.
