Principal's Message:
Good morning, Teddies,
We start a new quarter on Monday and it offers us an opportunity to renew some commitments.
At Roosevelt, we talk about being RHS: Respectful, Honorable, and Safe. As a very human institution, we don't always meet our expectations of ourselves. When that happens, the most important response is to reflect, own our part, and repair any harm we've caused.
Next week we will be ensuring that all students are meeting the expectation of being in class on time. The expectation, throughout the school, is that you are in class when the bell rings and that you stay in class until the bell rings. Should you need to step out for a meeting or bathroom break, you get a pass from the teacher.
To help students meet this expectation, we will be implementing random hall sweeps. Any student in the hallway after the bell rings, will be brought down to 008, our Catch-up room. We will call home to let parents know and students will need to complete work from 008.
During these hall sweeps some students become disrespectful to staff, feeling that they are being picked on. As Principal, my response is always that the student is responsible for where they need to be. Our staff is simply doing their job. If at any point a student feels targeted, they can have that conversation with a Dean or Administrator. However, the expectation is that we engage with one another respectfully.
If we all understand the expectations we have of one another, we can all help each other achieve our goals.
Families, thank you for your support in helping students understand our expectations.
Have a great weekend,
Principal Ledesma

Buenos días, Teddies,
Comenzamos un nuevo cuarto el lunes y nos ofrece la oportunidad de renovar algunos compromisos.
En Roosevelt, hablamos de ser RHS: Respetuoso, Honorable y Seguro. Como institución muy humana, no siempre cumplimos con nuestras expectativas de nosotros mismos. Cuando eso sucede, la respuesta más importante es reflexionar, asumir nuestra parte y reparar cualquier daño que hayamos causado.
La próxima semana comenzamos a asegurarnos de que todos los estudiantes cumplan con la expectativa de llegar a clase a tiempo. La expectativa, en toda la escuela, es que estén en clase cuando suene la campana y que se queden en clase hasta que suene la campana. Si necesita salir para una reunión o para ir al baño, se obtiene un pase del maestro.
Para ayudar a los estudiantes a cumplir con esta expectativa, implementaremos barridos en los pasillos. Cualquier estudiante en el pasillo - sin pase - después de que suene la campana, será llevado al 008, nuestra sala de actualización. Llamaremos a casa para informar a los padres y los estudiantes deberán completar su trabajo en el 008.
Durante estos barridos de pasillo, a veces los estudiantes se vuelven irrespetuosos con el personal, sintiendo que están siendo molestados. Como director, mi respuesta es siempre que el estudiante es responsable de dónde debe estar. Nuestro personal simplemente está haciendo su trabajo. Si en algún momento un estudiante se siente molesto, puede tener esa conversación con un Decano o Administrador. Sin embargo, la expectativa es que nos hablemos unos con otros respetuosamente.
Si todos entendemos las expectativas que tenemos unos de otros, todos podemos ayudarnos mutuamente a alcanzar nuestros objetivos.
Familias, gracias por su apoyo para ayudar a los estudiantes a entender nuestras expectativas.
Que tengan un gran fin de semana,
Director Ledesma

Subax wanaagsan, Teddies,
Waxaan bilownaa saddex bilood oo cusub Isniinta waxayna na siisaa fursad aan ku cusbooneysiino ballanqaadyo qaar ka mid ah.
Roosevelt, waxaan ka wada hadalnaa isagoo RHS: Ixtiraam, sharaf leh, iyo Ammaan. Maadaama oo ah hay'ad bani aadami ah, mar walba ma aysan gaarin filashooyinkeena ah in aynu nafsaddeena ka fileyno. Markay taasi timaado, jawaabta ugu muhiimsan waa inaan tarjumnaa, oo aan awoodno qaybteenna, iyo hagaajinta waxyeelo kasta oo aan geysannay.
Toddobaadka danbe waxaa bilaabaya xaqiijinta in dhamaan ardaydu ay wajahayaan filashadu inay fasalka ku soo galaan waqtigii loogu tala galay. Filashadu, iskuulka oo dhan, waa in aad fasalka ku jirtaa marka uu dhawaaqayo dhawaaqa iyo in aad fasalka sii joogtid ilaa uu dhawaaqo dhawaaqa dhawaaqa. Haddii aad u baahantahay inaad ka soo baxdo kulanka ama fasaxa musqusha, waxaad ka helaysaa baas macallimadda.
Si looga caawiyo ardayda inay kulmaan filashadan, waxaan fulin doonnaa hoolka aan kala sooca lahayn. Arday kasta oo ku jira hoolka ka dib marka uu dhawaaqo dhawaaqyada, waxaa hoos loogu soo dejin doonaa 008, qolkayaga Catch-up. Guriga ayaan wici doonnaa si aan waalidka u sheegno, ardayduna waxay u baahan doonaan inay shaqada ka buuxiyaan 008.
Inta lagu guda jiro hoolka ayaa mararka qaar ay ardaydu noqdaan kuwo aanay waxba ka tareyn shaqaalaha, iyagoo dareemaya in iyaga laga soo jarayo. Maamule ahaan, jawaabtaydu mar kasta waa in ardaygu uu mas'uul ka yahay halka laga rabo inuu joogo. Shaqaalaheena ayaa shaqadooda si fudud u gudanaya. Haddii ay mar walba dareemaan in ardaydu ay dareensadaan bartilmaameedsi, waxay wadahadalkaas la yeelan karaan Dean ama Maamulaha. Hase ahaatee, waxa laga filanayaa in aynu si xushmad leh iskula hawl galno.
Haddii aan wada fahamno rajada aan is qabno, dhammaanteen waxaynu isku caawin karnaa in midka kale uu yoolkeena ku gaaro yoolalkeena.
Qoysaska, waad ku mahadsantihiin taageerada aad ka caawiso ardayda inay fahmaan filashooyinka aan ka filayno.
Waxaan leeyahay weekend weyn,
Maamulaha Ledesma

Seniors, your yearbook is part of your senior fees. You do NOT need to order one. |
|
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.
