College Ready ‐ Career Focused ‐ Committed to a Socially Just World

Dear Roosevelt families,

Thank you for coming to parent-teacher-student conferences last week!  We saw more than 650 families. It was great to connect, talk about and with your student, and make plans to ensure their success.  Thank you to the SUN program for giving out 60 turkey dinners and food baskets. We appreciate everyone’s generosity to our community.  Finally, thanks so much to our Roosevelt Supporter Club (PTA) for keeping our teachers and support staff fed both days of conferences.  

I look forward to seeing folks at our Principal coffees Tuesday this week and our Latinx Family night on Thursday at 5:30pm. 

Go Riders! KD Parman, Principal

College Ready ‐ Career Focused ‐ Committed to a Socially Just World

Dear Roosevelt families,

It’s hard to believe this is the last full week of instruction for the month of November.  As you plan your time next week, please make sure to find some time to come to Roosevelt with your student to talk with teachers during parent-teacher-student conferences.  Many teachers require attendances for conferences because it is such an important opportunity to connect with families and make plans to support your student at school and at home.  We look forward to seeing you next week!

This weekend, you can stop by Roosevelt on Saturday from 9:00 -12:00 and help the Roosevelt Supporter Club rake the leaves on the Roosevelt Campus.  You can also drop off food for the Thanksgiving food baskets that will be going to families in our community that need some support. Stop by and rake some leaves, or just drop off some food.  

   Go Riders! KD Parman, Principal

College Ready ‐ Career Focused ‐ Committed to a Socially Just World

Dear Roosevelt families,

I can’t believe that November is halfway over!  Last week, you should have received your student’s report card in the mail.  Take a moment to look it over with your student. At Roosevelt, we are focused on students earning Bs or better in every class.  If your student does not have Bs or better, make a plan with them on how to improve their grades and follow up with any supports they might need to make that happen.  9th grade families will be getting an ABCs sheet from their student this week. This tracks your student’s Attendance, Behavior, and Course Completion. Students will also be bringing home a reflection and goal setting sheet to complete with you and/or another trusted adult.

Finally, we are focused to ensure that your student is in class and learning every day.  If a student is running late, remind them to stop by the attendance office to get a tardy slip.  Each period, we will be checking to make sure that students in the hallway have a hall pass. If students don’t have a hallpass, we will escort them back to class or take them to the reflection room.  This space will allow us time to talk with the student, troubleshoot any issues they are having in their classes and get them back to class. Remind your student to have a hall pass when in the hallways.  We want students to be on time, on task, and on a mission and we believe the reflection room will help us reach that goal for all of our students.

College Ready ‐ Career Focused ‐ Committed to a Socially Just World

Dear Roosevelt families,

Happy November!  Please take a moment to review the information below. There is a lot going on this week and in the coming weeks.  Remember, there is no school next Monday, and there is no school for students the week of Thanksgiving to allow teachers time for parent-teacher conferences.

This week - our football team will be playing against West Linn in the first round of the state playoffs.  Tomorrow is the Coffee with the Principal at 8:00am in Spanish and 9:00am in English.  We will be learning about, and giving input on, the final plans for the Phase 4 project.  You can also join us Wednesday evening for a community input session on Phase 4.  5:00 - 6:30 in the library.

Go Riders!

Listos para la Universidad, Enfocados en la Carrera, Comprometidos con un Mundo de Justicia.

Estimadas familias de Roosevelt,

Es difícil creer que esta sea la última semana de instrucción en noviembre. Cuando planifique su tiempo la próxima semana, asegúrese de encontrar tiempo para venir a Roosevelt con su estudiante para hablar con los maestros durante las conferencias de padres, maestros y estudiantes. Muchos maestros requieren la asistencia de su estudiante a las conferencias porque es una oportunidad tan importante para conectarse con las familias y hacer planes para apoyar a su estudiante en la escuela y en el hogar. ¡Esperamos verle la próxima semana! 

Este fin de semana, puede pasar por Roosevelt el sábado de 9:00 a 12:00 y ayudar al Roosevelt Supporter Club a barrer las hojas en el campus de Roosevelt. También puede dejar comida para las canastas de alimentos del Día de Acción de Gracias que se destinarán a las familias de nuestra comunidad que necesitan ayuda.  

¡Adelante Jinetes!
KD Parman, Director

Listos para la Universidad, Enfocados en la Carrera, Comprometidos con un Mundo de Justicia.

Estimadas familias de Roosevelt,
¡No puedo creer que ya estemos a mitad noviembre! La semana pasada, usted debió haber recibido la boleta de calificaciones de su estudiante por correo. Tómese un momento para revisarlo con su estudiante. En Roosevelt, estamos enfocados en que los estudiantes obtengan una calificación de B o mejor en cada clase. Si su estudiante no tiene una B o mejor, haga un plan con ellos sobre cómo mejorar sus calificaciones y continúe con cualquier apoyo que su estudiante pueda necesitar para que eso suceda. Las familias de estudiantes en noveno grado recibirán una hoja ABC de su estudiante esta semana. Esta hoja refleja la Asistencia, la Conducta y lo que ha Completado del Curso su estudiante. Los estudiantes también llevarán a casa una hoja de reflexión y la creación de metas para completar con usted u otro adulto de confianza.

Finalmente, estamos enfocados en asegurar que su estudiante esté en clase y aprendiendo todos los días.  Si un estudiante llega tarde, recuérdele pasar por la oficina de asistencia para recibir un pase de llegada tarde. En cada período, estaremos chequeando para asegurarnos de que los estudiantes que veamos por los pasillos tengan un pase. Si los estudiantes no tienen un pase, los escoltaremos de regreso a su clase o los llevaremos a la sala de reflexión. Este espacio nos permitirá hablar con el estudiante, resolver cualquier problema que tenga en sus clases y llevarlo de vuelta a su salón de clases. Recuérdele a su estudiante pedir al maestro un pase si necesita salir por un momento del salón de clases. Queremos que los estudiantes lleguen a tiempo, estén enfocados, y con un propósito y creemos que la sala de reflexión nos ayudará a alcanzar esta meta para todos nuestros estudiantes.

In this week's PPS students receive "Beat the Odds" scholarships; meet PPS's new Programs Manager for Climate Change & Climate Justice

Replacing leaking and deteriorated roofs in Portland Public Schools has been a priority for voters since the 2012 School Building Improvement Bond. Twenty-one new roof projects were completed through the 2012 Bond, and that effort continues thanks to the 2017 Health and Safety Bond.

Four high school students from Portland Public Schools who have excelled academically despite hardships have been named Renaissance Scholars and recipients of $16,000 “Beat the Odds” college scholarships.

Earlier this year, Nichole Berg was scrolling through Facebook while visiting family when she came upon something that would change her life: a job description. The life-long Wisconsinite, then a vice principal at a Madison middle school, read about a position in Portland Public Schools she had never heard of before: Programs Manager for Climate Change and Climate Justice.
