PRINCIPAL'S CORNER
Dear Roosevelt Parents/Guardians,
This week your child received the first trimester report card. This document reflects the hard work and progress your child has made during the school year. In addition, the report card indicates areas for growth and improvement. I encourage you to take time to review the report card with your child. Below I have listed some suggestions to consider as you discuss the report card:
*Let your child give you his/her first impressions of the report card. Allow your child the opportunity to highlight areas of strength and interest.
*Let your child point out areas for growth and improvement
*Work with your child to identify goals and some simple steps your child can take to realize those goals.
*Pay attention to the backside of the report card. This shows progress your child is showing with appropriate school behavior.
*Take time to carefully review the progress being made in our specials program such as Art, Music, PE, etc…
*Ask your child to comment on their overall school experience. Have them comment on their friends in class and at school. Have them discuss their daily schedule of activities.
Report card time is an opportunity to celebrate progress and the love of learning. Keep your child motivated and inspired by making time to discuss the school year and the many experiences your child is having in elementary school. Finally, feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions regarding our educational programming.
Have a wonderful day!
Dr. Dwyer
Inspire every child to discover, learn, achieve, and care.

Cold Weather Guidelines at Roosevelt
During the cold weather months, we will implement several measures to keep students warm and safe. Below are some guidelines we will be following:
Inside During Arrival:
If the temperature feels like 10 degrees or colder…Beginning at 8:30am students will wait inside until the bell rings to go to class.
Inside During Grade Level Recess:
If the temperature feels like 10 degrees or colder…Each grade level team will decide if they go outside for a ten minute recess or remain inside.
Inside During Lunch Recess:
If the temperature feels like 0 degrees or colder….Students will remain inside for the 30 minute recess lunch period.

Put Your Child’s Name on Everything!
As winter approaches, students are bringing more clothing items to school each day. Write your child’s name and teacher’s name on hats, gloves, coats, lunch bags, boots, backpacks, and all other items. This will avoid your belongings being placed in our lost and found.
