Check out our Roosevelt School updates on events and activities below.

Be sure to follow Roosevelt School on Facebook!

We are so proud of our seven Roosevelt Elementary School students who participated in the Central Regions Honors Chorus Festival last Saturday, May 9th! They joined approximately 110 talented student singers from surrounding districts and represented the Manville School District with professionalism, enthusiasm, and beautiful musicianship. Their hard work and dedication were evident in their lovely performance, and they should be very proud of this accomplishment.

On May 14th, the MHS Courtyard was transformed into a global marketplace for our annual Multicultural Night. Students, families, and staff gathered to celebrate the rich diversity that defines the Manville School District.

Attendees enjoyed an incredible spread of authentic dishes from around the globe, including Portugal, Costa Rica, Ireland, the Dominican Republic, and many more! Beyond the food, the courtyard was alive with music, dancing, and traditional games, providing a festive atmosphere for neighbors to connect and learn from one another.

Thank you to all the volunteers and families who shared their heritage with us!

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to our new principal, Mr. Luke Weisenbach! We are incredibly excited to have him join our school family and look forward to the fresh energy, leadership, and vision he will bring to our students, staff, and community.

As we turn this exciting new corner, we also want to share some wonderful news about Mrs. Rissmiller. While we will miss her leadership here, we are thrilled to announce that she will be joining the team at Weston as their new building principal starting in July. We are so grateful for everything she has done for our school, and we know she will do amazing things in her new role.

Change brings growth, and we are looking forward to a fantastic year ahead with Principal Weisenbach at the helm!

For the month of May we will focus on mindfulness.Being mindful means to be in the present moment. Mindfulness has been proven to help manage emotions and improve focus.

To ensure we can support every student and family effectively, please keep the following information in mind regarding our office hours and communication:

• Office Hours: Our main office is open and ready to assist you from 8:15 AM to 4:15 PM.

• Planning Your Visit: To ensure the right staff member is available to give you their full attention, we kindly ask that you schedule an appointment before coming to the school. This helps us keep our building secure and our schedules organized.

• Ways to Connect: We welcome communication via phone, voicemail, email, and/or ParentSquare.

• Response Time: We value your outreach! Please keep in mind that our staff follows a response window of 24 hours of the next business day for all messages and inquiries. We appreciate your patience as we work to get back to everyone.

Getting Help: Our Chain of Command

When you have a question or concern, the fastest way to get a resolution is to follow the district's "Chain of Command." This ensures you are speaking directly with the staff member who has firsthand knowledge of the situation.

The Manville School District uses ParentSquare as our primary platform for school communication. Families receive messages through email, app, voice, or text, helping everyone stay informed and involved.

As we move into the final month of the school year, it can be tempting to let routines slide—but this is actually the most critical time for consistent attendance! Staying on track now ensures our students are fully prepared for end-of-year milestones and their transition to the next grade.
