Library News
All library books will be due on Friday, June 2nd. Students are sent weekly email reminders about any overdue materials. Beginning May 15, students will also receive a paper notice of all materials they have checked out. Student can always check their own library account information by clicking on the Destiny icon under the Lock & Key and then choosing "My info."
Just because all books are due doesn’t mean we want students to stop reading. Students always have access to the over 15,000 digital ebook and audiobook titles through MackinVia. Ms. Reel has also published a Summer Reading Guide on the RMS Library website for ideas on exciting new books to read and ways to access reading material all summer long.
Before School Activities at the RMS Library for May
Students Staying for School Activities and Events Beyond the School Day
We have a spring filled with great activities and events at Roosevelt Middle School. To make these activities safe and enjoyable for all families, we want to remind you that a parent/guardian must accompany their student(s) when attending after-school and evening events.
Our primary goal at RMS is for your family to have a great experience!
Tech Protect
Device Protection Plan available for families with students assigned district Chromebooks
Technology plays an important role in preparing students for life, and Chromebooks are utilized as a daily learning tool in Anoka-Hennepin middle and high school classrooms. Anoka-Hennepin students in grades 6-12 are assigned a Chromebook from the school district to ensure access to technology systems that support classroom learning. As careful as students and schools are, accidents do happen each year - and hundreds of Chromebooks are returned at the end of the school year with damages.
Secondary students at some grade levels will get to keep their Chromebook over the summer months, and families can enroll in the device protection plan for the upcoming school year (2023-24), now.
Students that qualified for free or reduced price meals in the current school year (2022-23) may receive the Device Protection Plan coverage, if they enroll - at no cost.
The Technology Protection Plan is optional; it is not required, however, by electing not to participate in the Protection Plan, families may be required to reimburse the school district for the replacement or repair of damaged Chromebooks assigned to their student/s. Damaged or broken screens may cost between $100 to $190 depending on parts needed; or the replacement cost for the entire device could be up to $410.
Families can opt-in to the Device Protection Plan by logging into A-HConnect, and selecting "My Student Information," and "Fees." Parents must select or decline coverage under the Device Protection Plan.
The plan cost is $20 per student or $60 per family per school year.
If the student qualifies for free or reduced-price school meals in the 2022-23 school year, the cost of the Protection Plan will be reduced to $0.
Repairs with the Protection Plan are subject to a $15 deductible.
Visit ahschools.us/techprotect for details.

Enroll in the device protection plan using Synergy.
Parent Engage 360 Podcast Episode 32 Part 1:
School Resource Officers working in partnership with Anoka-Hennepin schools
The latest Parent Engage 360 Podcast is the first of a two-part series focused on school safety. In Episode 32 Part 1, host Liz Burgard sat down with Champlin Park High School principal Mike George and City of Brooklyn Park Police Officer and School Resource Officer (SRO) Andy Dickman to learn more about the role of the SRO in Anoka-Hennepin and their vital role in safety, building relationships and getting people comfortable in talking with law enforcement.
Anoka-Hennepin coordinates SROs in 12 schools across the district and maintains relationships with local law enforcement. These partnerships play a vital role in protecting the safety of students and staff districtwide.
Tune in to the Parent Engage 360 Podcast on Podbean, Apple Podcasts, or at ahschools.us/parentengage360. The Parent Engage 360 Podcast is also now available on Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, iHeartRadio and Samsung Podcasts.
Stay tuned for part two of this episode, where Burgard will visit with Greg Cole, Anoka-Hennepin’s chief operations officer and Tim Fournier, Anoka-Hennepin’s security & emergency operations manager, to learn more about the district’s approach to school safety and improvements that have and continue to be made around the district to ensure the safety of students and staff.
The Parent Engage 360 Podcast aims to provide parents and guardians with knowledge from experts in chemical health, mental health, internet safety and more, as well as the tools needed to support their children. Anoka-Hennepin hopes that providing timely and helpful information through the Parent Engage 360 podcast series will strengthen the bond between school and home with resources parents and guardians can use and share with others.
