PRINCIPAL'S CORNER
Dear Parents,
We were so impressed to see our students arriving to school ready to learn. I am delighted to see students coming to school each day with their Chromebook cases in hand and their computers fully charged. Let's work together to make sure this practice continues. Your partnership with us is vital to ensure we can successfully integrate technology into the classroom on a regular basis.
In addition, we use our “Bee Reward” for great behavior at Roosevelt School. This year we are issuing students a special sticker for them to wear. This year our goal is to distribute 3,000 bee stickers to students! Our faculty is delighted to catch students being good at school. If your child comes home with a Bee Sticker, please ask them about their experience.
Overall, if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s progress and experience at school, please don’t hesitate to contact the classroom teacher. We are committed to making your child’s school experience fun and engaging everyday.
Best wishes for a wonderful school year,
Dr. Dwyer, Principal
Inspire every child to discover, learn, achieve, and care.
