In Person Learning....

The Transportation Department is working with families who choose to transport their own students due to the concern about social distancing. MPS families will receive a reimbursement to transport their students themselves instead of using MPS-provided bus transportation. Only families who have students who are transportation-eligible will be able to participate. For high school, that means families who receive a door to door pick up/drop off.

Opportunities for Juniors:
GenesysWorks Application is OPEN to all eligible Juniors
  • Juniors, you should have had a GenesysWorks info session in your class this week. GW is a paid internship opportunity, specifically for Juniors interested in IT.
  • If accepted, students would do a 20 hour/week paid internship in the IT field during their senior year. Students would attend class for 1/2 the day and work at their paid internship for the other 1/2
  • Find out more information about GenesysWorks by clicking here
  • APPLICATION DEADLINE for GenesysWorks is March 7th
Questbridge College Prep Scholars Program:
The 2021 College Prep Scholars Program application is now open! The deadline is Wednesday, March 24. Find out more information and start your application today by clicking here!
  • Applying to college can seem daunting, and the prospect of paying for it can seem even more overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be. The College Prep Scholars Program equips high-achieving high school juniors from low-income backgrounds with the knowledge, confidence, and resources to apply to top colleges.
  • Why apply as a junior? Being a College Prep Scholar is a notable distinction that shows our 45 college partners that you are a competitive candidate for admission. In addition, your application will automatically carry over for the National College Match when you’re a senior, giving you a head start on applying for a full four-year scholarship to our college partners. College Prep Scholars are historically five times more likely than other applicants to receive full four-year scholarships through the National College Match.
  • Visit their website to find out more!

WHAT'S GOING ON AT SCHOOL

Looking for a way to get service hours at home? Freerice.com You will have to set up an account, your school email will work for that.

How does Freerice work?
As you play Freerice and answer questions right, advertisements appear on your screen. When you see one of these advertisements, you trigger a financial payment to the World Food Programme (WFP) to support its work saving and changing lives around the world.

In the game, these payments are represented via grains of rice. The amount of money generated when you see an advertisement can vary, but is roughly equivalent to what the World Food Programme spends to purchase 5 grains of rice.

There's a bunch of different categories and different languages, pick one that's fun for you!

Take a picture when you've earned 250 grains of rice and send it to Ms. Christol to get 1 hour of community service.
A few weeks ago, three of our students and Ms. Wincek met virtually with Special Olympic leaders, Representative Hagedorn, Senator Tina Smith's and Representative Betty McCollum’s staff members and others to discuss the importance of inclusive programs that unite students with varying abilities. We are so proud of Roosevelt seniors Thomas Fehler and Rose Larson, and freshman Nick Staloch for their advocacy and leadership!
Spanish Debate Team - now accepting new students! 
Spanish Debate will meet and compete virtually for the 2021 season. Meetings every Tuesday and Wednesday from 3:45 - 4:30 via googlemeet. email Ms. Eliason for more information or to join
