Note from Administration:
This afternoon we celebrated our Homecoming Pepfest at our stadium. Our students enjoyed crowning our royalty (congrats Kierra Leaks and Tate Sayaphet!), we cheered on our Teddy in a race of mascots, we watched a student and staff modern line dance, a soccer game between the girls team and staff, and Slimefest!
As I sit with goo still dripping from my ear, I wish to thank everyone for donating to our incredible community. Please check our social media feeds below for photos from today's festivities.
Today's memorable moments can only continue to be made possible by our collective work to keep everyone safe and healthy. Below you will find a note as to how we make decisions to quarantine due to close contact. Minneapolis Public Schools is requiring any unvaccinated student in close contact to quarantine for 14 days.
As we work through this pandemic our collective efforts at safe masking and getting vaccinated is helping to keep Roosevelt continuing in person learning. There is a link below to help families find a vaccine clinic to help us continue to stay in person and keep the greater community safe.
Thank you all, again, for all you've done to support our community and make our memorable events and traditions a reality this year!

Roosevelt Students--Did You Know?
If You Are a Direct Contact of Someone Who Tests Positive for COVID:
IF you are FULLY VACCINATED and No Symptoms:
· Fully vaccinated means you’ve had your second COVID vaccination at least TWO WEEKS PRIOR to exposure
· YOU watch for Symptoms, but don’t have to quarantine if you’re symptom-free.
· However, you should get tested three to five days after exposure, even if you do not have symptoms. You should also wear a mask indoors in public until they get a negative test result or for 14 days following exposure.
· *Anyone who develops symptoms of COVID-19 should separate from others and get tested immediately, whether or not they are vaccinated.
IF you are UNVACCINATED:
· You will need to QUARANTINE FOR A FULL 14 DAYS (Minneapolis Public Schools requires a 14-day quarantine): To protect family, other close contacts, and the community, a person who is not fully vaccinated and has been exposed to a person with COVID-19 needs to stay home and away from others (quarantine);
· Get tested immediately
· If the test is negative, get tested again three to five days after the last exposure.
· Stay home and away from others for 14 days.
**Anyone who develops symptoms of COVID-19 should separate from others and get tested immediately, whether or not they are vaccinated.
Get Vaccinated: Use the Minnesota Department of Health’s Vaccination Locater:
Order an at-home test at no cost: Vault: No-Cost COVID Testing For All Minnesotans You can check the status of your test kit by logging into the Vault website. Typically Vault saliva test kits ship within a day of receiving the order. Note that shipping and delivery does not happen on Sundays or holidays. If you need a test immediately, visit Find Testing Locations for in-person options.

Dear Minneapolis Students:
Do you enjoy downhill (alpine) skiing? Would you like to learn how to ski race? Did you know that one of the Winter sports you can learn and enjoy as a Minneapolis public school student is alpine (downhill) ski racing. We call ourselves the Minneapolis Alpine Ski Team (MAST). Over 100 student-athletes join our team every year and we would like to welcome even more MPS students to our ski team for the 2021-22 season.
MAST is open to Minneapolis students in grades 7-12. Everybody races as part of a team, either varsity or junior varsity. No racing experience is necessary. We offer excellent coaching and training, a fun and friendly team atmosphere, exciting competitions against other high school ski teams, and the chance to participate in the fastest, non-motorized sport in the world! Here is the best part: with hard work and lots of practice, you will become an expert skier. And you will have a great sport to enjoy for the rest of your life.
Learn more about MAST by checking out our website at www.mplsalpineski.org. Download the 2021-22 MAST Fact Sheet. We will be holding our preseason Alpine Skiing Information Meeting online this year. Be sure to fill out the NEW Athlete Inquiry Form so we can keep you up to speed about all preseason meetings, equipment, schedules, and registration. You can also contact our Head Coach, Mark Conway, 612-275-8392, or email markrobertconway58@gmail.com if you have additional questions. It is never too soon ---or too late--- to learn to ski race.

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!
