Roosevelt Public School - May 1, 2024
Hello RPS Families and Friends,
Believe it or not, it's May! As you may realize this month is state testing. I hope you were able to take a few minutes to read over my NJSLA Spring 2024 Parent Letter with a review of testing information and tips. I've attached it below in case you haven't or would like another sneak peek.
Although April seemed to be a short month with spring break and school days off for holidays, students have been immersed in new learning opportunities. RPS staff is hard at work prepping all the fun end of year activities that we look forward to.
Field Day will be upon us before we know it. Our physical education teacher, Mr. Faunce, has been working very hard on organizing a fun Field Day at the end of May for RPS! School trips continue in June with a few extra class trips that are funded with RSPEF grants. Thank you RSPEF for all your support this year! Also in June and thanks to the generosity of our families who participated in our 5th Grade Class Trip fundraisers, our fifth graders are off the NYC to visit the Sloomoo Institute to make slime, and a backstage tour before enjoying the Blue Man Group Show. The group will enjoy lunch together before heading back to RPS.
The Spring Concert and Art Show is on June 4th in the RPS gymnasium/lobby. Ms. Brown and Ms. Gellman are collaborating to make this a family fun evening for all. Stay tuned for the invitation to follow. Preschool and Kindergarten orientation is June 13th at 10am. Mark your calendars: June 6th is Fifth Grade Graduation. Come help celebrate our graduates!
Go Dragons!
Mrs. Morrone
