Principal's Message:
Last night we had the virtual premiere of our Fall play The 7 and it was fantastic! If you haven't seen it, please watch this weekend while, hopefully, staying cozy and warm:
As we had no box office for tickets, donations are welcome to support our theater program:
Our move to a virtual performance was necessitated by increasing COVID rates in our community. While Roosevelt was doing well, the return from Thanksgiving break saw an increase in our numbers. We had almost double the positive cases this week as last week.
With ICU beds at hospitals at capacity, we must all do our part to keep COVID numbers as low as possible. That means students, staff, and families all need to do their part:
-
ALL students, staff, and families entering the building must be masked from chin to above the nose ALL the time, including at Athletic events.
-
Masks may only come down when eating or drinking and seated OR if sitting in a space by yourself (ie, sitting in a room with zero other people in the room).
- Multiple reminders for masking will result in phone calls home and being sent home.
- We must, as a community, look out for one another - especially our more vulnerable classmates with underlying health conditions or those at home like the elderly or young children.
As notifications of close contacts increase, we will be reaching out to families via email, phone, and text. Students will also receive notifications via their school email accounts. Please ensure your family is checking these daily.
Next week we kick off on our favorite weeks at Roosevelt, Operation Holiday Basket and Spirit Week. We can only continue to have our spirited fun by continuing to be as safe as possible.
Thank you, always, for your support. Have a wonderful weekend!
Principal Ledesma

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.
By doing this you are helping give scholarships to Roosevelt students and grants to staff without it costing you a penny?
You just have to remember to go to smile.amazon.com instead of Amazon…..same merchandise, same prices, same service. Thank YOU!

20 hours of Service Per year is expected of every student, every year.
Check out these websites to come up with another idea.
- https://www.volunteermatch.org/search?l=Minneapolis%2C+MN%2C+USA
(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.
