May 2006 2006 Merit Award Winner PROGRAM OF DISTINCTION Magnet Schools of America 2006 V.I.P.S. Golden School Award

Welcome to the Roosevelt Middle School web-page. We hope that you find the information contained within helpful and informative.

Now that we have entered the final weeks of school it is important for students to continue making their best effort and to remain focused. Maintaining good study habits including completing assignments and homework on time, effective time management, attending extra help, coming to class prepared to learn, and getting a good night’s sleep all remain important. Parents can help by continuing to monitor their child’s progress and communicating with teachers when a concern arises.

With the warmer weather comes the expectation that all students arrive at school dressed appropriately. Dress that is distracting, disruptive, or poses a safety issue is prohibited, as indicated in the district-wide and building "Code of Conduct". Parents are asked to take a few moments to discuss with students the appropriate dress for a work and learning environment. Any student who wears clothing that is deemed inappropriate for a middle school setting will be required to change.

Throughout the school year, we have implemented numerous programs to meet the social, emotional and academic needs of our middle school students. Our PTSC has supported a variety of programs to enrich and enhance the educational experience for our students. I encourage parents to participate in the PTSC program and SAC committees respectively - you are sorely needed.  These programs have included pertinent information such as the dress code for next year.

Our students continue to be active in many areas and to receive accolades for their achievements locally, regionally, and nationally. Some examples include: 1st place SECME, two students finished in the top 10 for math awards in the state. Large numbers of students continue to be involved in co-curricular activities, music, drama and the athletic programs.

We are proud of the accomplishments of our students during this past school year. We hope that your child has experienced a rewarding year and has grown socially, emotionally and intellectually. Thank you for being our partners in the education of your children.

Congratulations to our eighth graders as they complete three years at Roosevelt Middle School and prepare to begin high school. Best wishes to all for a healthy, restful, and productive summer.

Sincerely,

George L. Lockhart
