Back to School Night 2025

Join Roosevelt’s teachers and administrators for an information-packed official welcome to the 2025/26 school year!

Spend time with your child(ren)’s teachers and learn about grade-level curriculum, assessments, homework, and school/home communication.

The Roosevelt specialists who also work with your children, including pupil personnel staff; art, music, STEM, and physical education instructors will be available in the multipurpose room to provide an overview of their program and services.

Also, you will be able to learn more about your Roosevelt PTO, volunteer opportunities for parents, and fundraising efforts at the school.

This is a parent/guardian only event.

Roosevelt Elementary School invites families, staff, students, and community members to participate in our annual Chalk the Walk event on Tuesday, September 2, 2025 .

Roosevelt School concluded its annual Holiday Drive last week and it was a tremendous success! Special thanks to all of our Roosevelt students, parents, and guardians for helping us all to realize that the true meaning of the Holidays is to “GIVE”, and GIVE you all did. Because of you, there will be people out there whose Holidays just turned around in a big way. Special thanks to the Shirley Thompson Christmas crew for, as always, helping us to make it all happen. Have a terrific Holiday Season everyone!!
