New Cell Phone/Headphone Policy 1/6/25
Dear Roosevelt Community,
I hope you have had an outstanding TG Holiday!
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.
New Cell Phone/Headphone Policy Campaign: We will promote the new policy in the Rough Rider Review, via morning announcements, and during Teddy Time throughout the month of December. Our slogan will be "Bell to Bell No Cell". I encourage you to begin to have conversations with your student(s) about the new policy.
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
Attendance Matters All Day Everyday!
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!
