Dear Roosevelt Families,

We want to let you know about upcoming repairs to the North 4th Avenue steps that will begin this weekend. This work is expected to last 1–3 weeks. Starting Monday, September 29, arrival and dismissal will move to the school’s front entrance on Brooks Blvd. (the same entrance used during our Opening Day Ceremony).

As we prepare for the first day of school, we need every family to log in to the Genesis Parent Portal and make sure all information is current and up to date. This includes emergency contacts, medical details, and arrival/dismissal information.

Genesis is your all-in-one portal for your child’s information, so keeping it updated AND checking it regularly helps us ensure a smooth and safe start to the school year. If you have not already done so, please take a few moments to complete this before the school day begins on Tuesday.

Parents & Guardians -

We’re excited to share that our schools will now be using ParentSquare for all district and school communications, replacing Remind. ParentSquare allows you to receive messages via email, text, or app, view calendars, RSVP to events, and access student documents securely.

You should have received an invitation to activate your account, it's quick and easy. We encourage all families to join and stay connected with our school community!

Directions for how to connect with this communication system can be found below!

Breakfast: Students purchasing breakfast should arrive at 8:25 AM.

Lunch and Snacks: Students can purchase lunch and snacks through Aramark. Parents, please make sure you're logging into MySchoolBucks to track your child's spending and manage their meal accounts.
