THE BEAR ESSENTIALS

Happy New Year and welcome back to 2026! We are entering a very important academic period. Semester 1 will officially come to a close on January 23, with final exams taking place January 20–23. These exams play a significant role in determining students’ semester grades and provide an opportunity for them to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they have developed over the past several months.

The weeks leading up to exams move quickly and are a critical time for students to stay focused and engaged. We strongly encourage all students to complete and turn in any missing or incomplete assignments as soon as possible, as outstanding work can greatly impact final grades and exam readiness. Teachers are reviewing key concepts and helping students prepare, but consistent effort, attendance, and organization during this time are essential.

Families play a vital role in supporting student success. We ask that parents and guardians regularly check Parent Connect to monitor grades, attendance, and missing assignments, and to talk with students about their progress and exam preparation. Staying informed allows concerns to be addressed early and helps reinforce expectations at home. Your encouragement and partnership make a meaningful difference as we work together to ensure every student is prepared, confident, and successful during final exams. Thank you for your continued support.

Go Bears!

Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Hickey, Mrs. Bukosky, Mr. Petrick, and Mr. Schley

Flag Football

Girls Flag Football is a growing sport, and we are excited to announce that RHS will have a team this spring! This is NOT an MHSAA sport. It is a club that will be a one year pilot program and reviewed for continuity into next year. The league is organized and sponsored through the Detroit Lions and NFL. The season goes from April 25th - May 16th. It is only a 5 week season and games will not interfere with a spring sport as games will be Saturday evenings or Sundays. This will be open to Junior and Senior girls to begin the program. A sign up form will be sent out soon.

We are reminding our Wyandotte Roosevelt Bear fans that we have an entirely cashless system for all sports event admissions through GoFan https://gofan.co/app/school/MI10074. This cashless ticketing effort is designed to significantly enhance the experience for our fans, improve operational efficiency, and increase security for everyone. By embracing this, we are aligning with much of the Downriver League, other area schools, schools around the State of Michigan, and the MHSAA. This also reflects the evolving preference of consumers, with many studies showing that many fans now expect and prefer digital payment options. We will accept all major credit and debit cards and will have card readers available at Roosevelt High School home events. Tickets can be purchased online in advance or at the gate using a mobile device or a credit/debit card. The best way to purchase tickets is to download the GoFan App to your phone. We also remind you that spectators 62 and over and 5 and under do not have to pay admission (this does not apply to tournaments or MHSAA events). We appreciate your cooperation and continued support in making cashless ticketing a success. We are confident that this will lead to a more efficient, secure and enjoyable experience for all spectators. Go Bears!
