ANNOUNCEMENT
We have been asked by the Office of Associate Superintendents to reach out to parents to ask them to participate in focus groups. This fall, the University of Washington Center for Educational Leadership (CEL) has been conducting an equity-centered leader needs assessment for Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) in collaboration with the Wallace Foundation. The goal of the assessment is to gain insight into how MPS defines and equips an equity-centered school leader. MPS is interested in determining what school leaders need to know and be able to do to ensure that each student, particularly those furthest from justice, has a school experience that prepares them for a limitless future.
 
Focus groups will consist of no more than 5 people and will last 60-90 minutes. Consultants from the University of Washington will conduct the focus groups. In addition, the consultants will record the conversations to assist them in gathering information. We ask that you sign up for one of the following sessions below. To sign up for a session, please contact Jennifer Fair (Jennifer.Fair@mpls.k12.mn.us) or by phone 612-695-0438. Please indicate if you will need interpreters and in which language.
 
Wednesday, December 16 from 10 am – 12 pm

Would you like to help give scholarships to Roosevelt students and grants to staff without it costing you a penny? Do you ever shop at Amazon?  

Instead of going to amazon.com, go to smile.amazon.com. Register and select Minneapolis Theodore Roosevelt High School Foundation as your charity. Each time you shop at smile.amazon the Foundation will receive a small percentage of your purchase.

You just have to remember to go to smile.amazon.com instead of Amazon…..same merchandise, same prices, same service. Thank YOU!

(You can search by word, so if you are looking for an "art" based volunteering opportunity, or a "children" based opportunity, "senior citizen", etc.


If you have questions before that, please email Christol.Schultz@mpls.k12.mn.us.

If your student is doing their hours OUTSIDE of the school, please have them send in a paper that is signed, dated and phone number listed for the organization or person that they helped.
