Principal's Message:
This week is Finals week as we wrap up the first semester. While the online format offers certain obstacles, we are hopeful that our students will finish strong.
In this second week of online learning we will continue to connect with students and make sure they have what they need. We will continue to follow the school schedule; see the Finals schedule below this message. Students can make the most of their learning by logging on in a timely manner and engaging with their teachers in learning. Attendance will be taken, not just by logging on, but by engaging in learning.
If for some reason a student is struggling to log on, please email the teacher for next steps. Additional help from Jackson Calhoun for students who are sick or in quarantine is still available; see below.
We will also have our partners from Beacons available to provide extra help. They will be available on Google Meet every day from 10-11am and 2-3pm. Google Class Code: sdhkjwv
We are adding a level of service for our students who are sick or in quarantine. Jackson Calhoun, from our Check and Connect office, will be setting up office hours to connect with students and provide classwork help or help to navigate Google Classroom. If students have questions or need help connecting with a teacher, Jackson can be of assistance. Please see the details below for Google Meet information on how to reach Jackson.

WHAT'S GOING ON AT SCHOOL |
|
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!

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.
