Dear Roosevelt Bear Families,
Happy December and Holidays to you, family, and friends.
It is hard to believe the 2023 year is coming to a close. We surely could not do this without your support. It has been a great first part of the school year.
Please look below for our December events and look ahead to the New Year.
We are asking that you spend some quality time with family and friends. Talk, share, and set goals with your family for the new year. We all can do better. Please encourage our child to read every day. Parents, please limit screen time for your child during this Winter Break.
When we return from Winter Break, we will begin to assess all that your child has learned in Reading and Math since August. Please make sure your child gets enough rest each night and is ready to learn and be at school every day and on time.
Wish you all an amazing time with family and friends over the Holidays.
SCHOOL LEVY INFORMATION
- Superintendent Greene and Kim Newell (HR Director) will be presenting levy information on December 13 at the Roosevelt Staff Meeting. Kim Newell is attending with Superintendent Greene as part of her work on the levy committee. Kim is currently working on her superintendent credential through WSU - go Cougs! As part of her superintendent work, she is on the levy committee and is in charge of 6 schools including Roosevelt. Please see the attached flyer with levy facts that Kim & Superintendent Greene will be going over on the 13th.
Winter weather is here! We live in a climate where roads can become slick and temperatures can be cold and uncomfortable. It is time to prepare your household and your children for winter weather. Schools are preparing too!
If the superintendent calls for a change in school status due to winter weather, a message similar to this (via ParentSquare and StudentSquare) will be sent by 6:00 a.m. Other ways to find out if Yakima School District schools are delayed or closed due to weather is:
- Check the School or District websites at https://www.ysd7.org/ (the websites are the first place the information is posted - sometimes by 5:15 a.m.)
- Check official district social media accounts https://www.ysd7.org/socialmedia
- Watch the local media (but also check our websites as occasionally the media accidently confuses their report with information from another district).
Please note that if the Yakima School District calls for a delay that buses will also be delayed. Note that winter road conditions can delay buses further. Only four of our bus routes have snow routes as they are on a hill, so be sure to know if your route has a snow route and where you should meet your bus should snow routes be called. www.YSD7.org/busroutes or the transportation department at 509-573-7200.
