Roo-Weekly Update 10.5.15

Good Evening Roosevelt International Middle School Families.

Dr. Casillas with your weekly school update.

Happy October. Our first month of school ended completely engaged in teaching and learning. Students understand the expectations, procedures and routines of being successful in an IB learning community. It is up to each student, with our support, to demonstrate Roughrider PRIDE-personal responsibility in daily excellence. This week on RooTube, we reminded students about appropriate behavior not only at school but on their way to and from school. Students please review your planner and Roosevelt’s dress code policy. It is important that you come to school dressed for success in Roosevelt uniform.

This Wednesday, students will be bringing home the Federal Survey Card. These cards are important, as every year, our district receives $8 million in Impact Aid funding based on the information you provide. Please return the cards as soon as possible. We need your help to receive the federal funds.

Eighth Graders turned in their Community Project Proposals and all seem excited. On Thursday, we will have a special Advisory schedule to meet their Community Project Supervisors and 6th  and 7th graders will engage in a service learning activity. Dismissal time will be as normal at 2:28 or at 3:30 pm for those with 7th period. Do not forget, PTSA Trick-or Trot Run is coming up. Students were sent home sponsor sheets.
