The Roosevelt Report
September/October 2024
We hosted some Student Assemblies at the start of our school year with all of our students, to review what's expected of them while they're at Roosevelt. One of the items we reviewed with all students was Roosevelt's Cell Phone Policy.
During school hours, cell phones should be powered off and out of sight. This includes while students are in classrooms, hallways and the cafeteria.
First Offense - The teacher contacts the main office for pickup of the phone. The student will get the phone back at the end of the day (main office). The offense will be logged.
Second Offense - Teacher contacts the main office for pickup of the phone. The student will get the phone back at the end of the day (main office). The offense will be logged and an email will be sent home to the parent/guardian.
Third Offense - The teacher contacts the main office for pickup of the phone. A guardian will be called to pick up the phone.
Students were also reminded that video recording is not permitted on school grounds.
We are excited to share that Roosevelt Middle School will be submitting our IB MYP Authorization application by October 8th, marking a significant step in our journey to becoming an IB MYP school!
For our new families: This journey began as part of our commitment to providing a rigorous and globally minded education for all students. Over the past few years, we’ve integrated the IB Middle Years Programme framework, which emphasizes critical thinking, intercultural understanding, and academic rigor.
Once our application is submitted, we expect feedback on areas to refine, followed by a site visit in late winter or early spring. If all goes well, we aim to be fully authorized before the end of the year!
For more information about the IB MYP, visit the official IB MYP website.
National Custodian Appreciation Day is celebrated annually on Oct. 2 to honor the work of custodians who keep buildings clean and safe. At RMS, our custodians play an important role in creating healthy and pleasant learning environments for our students to learn in, and we took some time to show them some of our gratitude! Thank you, Royce, Brandon, Pedro, Joel, Nick, Sam, Steve and Tiffany!
The Roosevelt Report is a great way to keep in touch with all the great things going on here at RMS each month. But if you're looking for more frequent updates of RMS awesomeness, head on over to our new Facebook page and follow along!
