Principal's Message:
Spring is here and there are lots of exciting things happening at Roosevelt - including a real fire alarm today! You may have already received our Robocall regarding the fire alarm due to burnt pizza in a cooking class. Everyone and everything is safe. Our students were incredible and respectful. They cheered for the firefighters when they arrived and thanked them when they cleared the building. Some students may have even gotten a selfie with firefighters.
In other news, we received some new information yesterday that will impact our schedule beginning next week. MPS leadership is allowing some flexibility for schools that had met the instructional minutes requirement in our original schedules. While we are still required to add 42 minutes through the Return to Work Memorandum of the contract agreement, we will have some flexibility in how we add those 42 minutes.
Please see the updated scheduled below. In order to provide students with additional support and prevent students from missing 7th hour learning, we will be returning to our original end time for 7th hour at 3:00pm. We will be adding an Academic Advisory from 3:00-3:42pm every day. Students will use this time to complete work, projects, study, and engage in social-emotional learning. As per MPS policy, students will still be required to attend until 3:42pm unless excused by families and admin. We believe this will result in better student outcomes as it ensures our students do not miss their seventh hour due to extenuating circumstances.
We are grateful to our students and, especially, to the North High School student leaders who organized to advocate a more equitable response for the students of Minneapolis Public Schools. We send gratitude to our North High siblings.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Have a great, healthy 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 or need to turn hours in, please email CSchultz@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.
