Dear Roosevelt Community,

I hope you have had an outstanding Winter Break!

With the approval of and input from the MTSS committee, the CIC committee, and several teachers, parents, and students that I've spoken with, on Monday, January 6th, 2025, we will implement a new TR cell phone/headphone policy.

New TR Cell Phone/Headphone Policy: During the seven instructional class periods, cell phones and headphones will be put away (not visible) and not used by students. Students may use cell phones and headphones during passing periods and during their lunch period.

Rationale: Schools who have implemented similar policies have seen higher levels of academic achievement, lower failure rates, and an increase in overall student well-being and socialization.

While we understand that it will take time for our students to get fully acclimated to the new policy, we ask for your support when the policy goes into effect. We believe that this policy will help our students focus on the great lessons that our teachers prepare, increasing our students' understanding of subject content.

Sincerely,
Bryan Norwood, Principal

Rough Rider Community,

Over the past few years, administrators have faced greater challenges when addressing some disciplinary incidents including:

• Students fleeing from them when directed to do otherwise
• Students concealing items on their person and refusing to allow the administrator to search them when legally allowed to do so
• Parents instructing their students to not comply with legally allowed searches

Current disciplinary measures, such as In-School Suspension and Out-of-School Suspension, do not effectively deter this behavior. Therefore, Starting Jan. 6, 2025, at our middle and high school campuses, students suspected of possessing a prohibited item, who run away from an administrator to avoid complying with a lawful search, could be sent to the North East Alternative Center.

When a student refuses to be searched or runs from administrators, it undermines the safety protocols we have in place to protect everyone. These actions pose potential risks not only to the individual student but also to the broader school community. We are enhancing the consequences for students who engage in such behaviors to reinforce the importance of safety and cooperation.

Sincerely,

TR Administration

The correlation between excellent grades and excellent attendance is undeniable! Your child’s attendance is also tied to their ability to receive high school credit. If your child has 10 or more absences in a class during a semester, they lose credit in that class. Let’s work together to ensure that our students receive credits and stay on track to graduate. Contact an administrator if you have question regarding attendance. Please remind your child that at TR, Attendance Matters All Day Everyday!

If your student will be absent, it's important to submit any documentation for absences to TR Attendance Office. The fax number is 210-650-1291. Documentation can also be emailed to the attendance clerk, Ms. Margaret Quinn, mquinn2@neisd.net. Attendance Matters All Day Everyday!

Our campus is a closed campus. Students are not to leave campus without being signed out by a parent/guardian in the office. Failure to comply with this directive may result in disciplinary action by administration.

Please review the NEISD Dress Code Policy

Students are not allowed to have food deliveries to Roosevelt campus at any time (from Uber Eats, Grubhub, restaurants, etc). Thank you for your understanding.
