ROOSEVELT NEWSLETTER
MARCH 2023
PRINCIPAL'S CORNER
Dear Roosevelt Families,
We hope you and your family were able to enjoy some time together during the mid-winter break. It seems that after the mid-winter break the rest of the school year goes by rather quickly. No doubt you’ve celebrated your child’s academic and social/emotional accomplishments when you had conversations with them about their report card. You likely also established goals for them. In the next 5 weeks before spring break, please make it a point to continue to reinforce routines to support school success such as on time arrival, getting plenty of sleep and home practice of key academic skills. Thank you always for your partnership in supporting our students to thrive in school.
March 27-31
Teachers will be sending out more information with conferences dates soon. School will be dismissed at 12:00PM. (please make sure you sign up for a time to discuss your child's academic and social emotional learning sometime this week with you child's teacher.
