Roo-Weekly Update 9.13.15

Good Evening Roosevelt International Middle School Families: 

Dr. Casillas here with your weekly school update.

What a smooth first week of school. Thank you all for your efforts in supporting the opening of the school year.  During the first 14 days of school, all students are reviewing school policies, the ten IB Learner Profile Traits and the concept of International Mindedness. Ask your student what it means do be an “inquirer” or “knowledgeable.” Our students are building their foundation for an international education. 

In looking at our master schedule and actual enrollment numbers, there will be slight changes in our classes. Counselors will be working on adjusting for class size and balancing special programs. Every effort will be made to minimize schedule disruptions. 

On Wednesday, students will be bringing home the Back to School Packet containing important enrollment paperwork. Please review the information, complete the forms, and return to your student’s first period teacher. If you have any questions, please call our front office. 

I am excited to share that through our collaborative efforts with our PTSA, PrimeTime and YMCA, we have about 20 afterschool activities for all our students such as MEChA, Strategic games, Academic League and sports.  The brochure of activities and registration information will be sent home on Monday and are due to the Prime Time Office in Room 704  this Thursday, September 17th. As Prime Time is overseeing the activities, all students participating must have an application on file; however students do not need to stay after the activities are over. 

To help maintain the after school activities, Roosevelt PTSA is hosting its second annual Trick or Trot 3K/5K Fun Run on Sunday, October 18th. This is a great, fun event.  Sign up, wear your costumes, take a little run and help support our school. Go the rooseveltptsa.org for more information. 

Tomorrow, Monday Sept 14th will be a scheduled fire drill. Next Monday, September 21st is School Picture Day and Peace One Day.
Have a great week of learning Rough Riders. Always do your best by working hard and making good choices. 

Until next time, good bye and good night.
