A Message from Mrs. Kyncl
Dear Roosevelt Families,
We have had a couple of wonderful weeks here at school and awesome things are happening at Roosevelt each day! We are excited to begin our Virtual Pumpkin Carving Contest with our PTO. Be sure to check out their FB page for more details!
Speaking of Halloween activities we are looking forward to hosting our Annual Halloween Parade at school on October 31st prior to the classroom parties beginning. The parade will begin at 1:45 and the doors will open about 1:30. Parents can all join for this, even if you aren't attending the classroom party as a signed up volunteer. If you are attending a classroom party please watch for those details to come from your child's teacher. We will have name tags for you in the gym lobby at Door 1. Only adults with name tags will be allowed down to the classrooms. Thank you for paying special attention to this detail as we work to keep our building safe and secure.
While selecting costumes for school, please understand that we require costumes to be safe, non-offensive, not scary, and non-violent. By having this policy we are ensuring the safety and well being of all of our other students at Roosevelt. With the joy and fun of the ALL-SCHOOL parade, it is important that the costume your child selects be of good taste and not something that could easily scare a younger student or a student with anxiety of the holiday. Please be mindful of this when helping your child select a costume. Because we believe, here at Roosevelt, toy guns and other paraphernalia that encourage violence are inappropriate for children at school, children MAY NOT bring these items to school with them. If you aren't sure about a costume please feel free to reach out to me.
Please remember that the costume needs to be easily and independently changed into here at school and contain no hair dye or face paint. Please save the elaborate costuming for at home on Halloween. Students need to be able to put their costumes on over their clothes within our classroom setting.
We are looking forward to this fun tradition here at school!
As always, thank you for sending your child to us well prepared for the day and ready to do their best learning. We consider it a great honor to be your partner in your child's education.
Yours in Education,
Mrs. Kyncl
A Note from the Office
If your child will be late or absent, please contact the office before 9:00 am at 269-428-1416. You may leave a voicemail if you call in before school hours or if other calls are being attended to. It is required by the state to report the reason for an absence so please share the reason/symptom and/or type of illness if known. Late students need to be signed in by an adult in the office (door 3).
Please make sure your student has appropriate outdoor gear every day. There will be outside recess unless it is consistently raining during recess time. It is also a good idea to label their gear with their first and last name in case it ends up in our lost and found.
If you need to drop off items, there is a table in the office vestibule. Please have the item marked with your child's name and teacher. We will be able to speak through the door intercom.
If you have any questions about the upcoming school year, please reach out to memery@lpslancer.net or 269-428-1416.

Free Breakfast and Lunch
We are happy to let you know that we will again have free breakfast and lunch available for our students each day. Elementary students will not need money in their lunch account unless you plan to send a packed lunch and have them purchase milk/juice. MS/HS students have the option of purchasing a la carte items and will need money deposited in their accounts for that.
School Bus Policy
The Policy States:
Lakeshore Public Schools provides bus transportation for all eligible students. We only grant requests to ride another bus in emergency situations or to a licensed daycare. A parental note describing the type of emergency or daycare situation must be brought to the office in the morning for administration approval. Students must present a valid pass from the office to the bus driver in order to ride a bus that is not assigned to them or get off at a different stop.
Student's will not be allowed to ride a bus home to qo to a friend's house for afterschool activities.
Bus Routes Here
Please have your child at the bus stop 5 minutes before the listed estimated time. On Late-Start Wednesdays, high school/middle school run 35 minutes later, and elementary buses run 30 minutes later. Late Start Wednesdays begin September 4, 2024
Please check back after 5:00 PM on August 25th for any updated bus routes.
Transportation for Y5 and Kdg students starts on Tuesday, August 27th. Their first day of school is a one hour visit with an adult. This allows the students to become familiar with the classroom environment before staying for the day.
Car Line
The parking lot on the South side of the building (off of Donald & Dennis) is for buses and staff only. Please do not use this lot from 7:45 am to 4:00 pm. You will be asked to move.
To pick up and drop off car riders: One way traffic has been created to ensure safer travel and exit for all. Enter off of Cleveland Ave onto Eldorado and exit onto Santa Maria. Everyone dropping off or picking up students will be use this car loop. Please have last name displayed on back of passenger side visor. Tag board is available at school if needed. Please be sure the name is large enough to be seen from a bit of a distance.
Parents are not allowed out of their vehicles during arrival or dismissal. Please use our car line. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
