Hello Roosevelt Families!

I hope you're all enjoying the long weekend! On Wednesday, September 28th, at 10:10 a.m. we are conducting a school safety lockdown drill.

Our annual Fall Book Fair has arrived! Please be sure to stop by the auditorium after school from 3:00 to 3:45 p.m. starting Tuesday, September 27th through Friday, September 30th. Your child can also shop during their recess and lunch recess!

We are very excited for the return of our Back to School Picnic this Tuesday, September 27th from 5:00-7:00 p.m. on the Big Yard! Bring a blanket and enjoy dinner picnic style with Roosevlet friends! We look forward to seeing you there!

September is National Attendance Month!

This is a great way to celebrate our return to school and commit to establishing consistent routines at home that optimize your child's learning experiences at school!

Tips for success:

1. Prepare for the school day the night before. Have your child make a checklist for items to be packed in their backpack and then have them check off each item on this list as they pack. This would include: water bottle, reading books, homework, Wednesday Folder etc. It feels great to follow a list and check things off as you go!

2. Have an evening routine that includes the same bedtime each night.

3. Have a morning routine that helps your child be to school before the 8:25 a.m. warning bell.

4. If your child struggles with routines, create a positive reinforcement sticker chart for each night and/or morning routine and reward your child with a sticker for every time they follow the routine. At the end of the week, provide a reward that requires your time and full attention such as playing a board game or taking a bike ride with your child. Your time and attention have far more impact than a treat or gift.

5. Children feel secure, stable, and have a greater sense of emotional well-being when routines are in place and consistently followed.

Lost & Found Shed

We have quite a collection of items in the Lost & Found Shed located behind the Coach's Office near the Upper 9th St. gate. Please be sure to check the Lost & Found anytime during dismissal! We have lots of water bottles and outer wear! Thank you!

Cool Tools Peer Conflict Resolution Strategies. I've included the link below for you to review so that you can become familiar with Cool Tools and have conversations with your child to reinforce the strategies with him/her at home.

Our Character Development Trait for September is Respect.

Our Focus Phrase is: Everyone at Roosevelt has the right to be treated with respect.

Here are some talking points you can use at home to start a conversation about what it means to be respectful or have respect:

Treat other people the way you want to be treated.

Be polite.

Listen to what other people have to say.

Use kind and honest words (do not give put downs, make fun of others or call them names).

Don't bully or pick on others. Be an UPSTANDER!

Get to know people on the inside.

Our Character Development Book is: Just Kidding by Trudi Ludwig. This is an especially great story to share with your 3rd-5th graders! Here is the Read Aloud version: https://youtu.be/i0ktesNzhEQ

Character Trait Activities for Your Child to Do At Home

Have your child join in the fun with activities you can do at home around the theme of Respect! Their work will be displayed on our Character Trait of the Month Board for all to see. Your child can submit art or writing now through September 23rd to the Respect Box just inside the library entrance.

Respect Activities:

Draw a picture of:

A time you were respectful to a friend, classmate, family member, or an adult at school.

Write about:

A personal experience in which you were respectful, or someone was respectful to you. How did this make you feel?

Covid Protocols

Your child received an antigen test kit on Friday, and we will continue to distribute antigen tests to all students and staff on Fridays and/or the day before a holiday weekend or school break. Please administer this antigen test on Monday evening! If your child tests positive please contact attendance at absence@smmusd.org to report. Our school nurse, Priscilla Guzman, will contact you for further directions.

Masks continue to be strongly recommended.

Please be sure your child wears sunscreen, and brings a water bottle to school every day.

Forgotten Items

Our Main Office does NOT accept items that were forgotten and left at home! This includes homework, backpacks, water bottles, lunches, outerwear, instruments, etc. If your child forgets their lunch, we will provide him/her with a free lunch from the cafeteria. It is important for your child to experience the natural consequences of having forgotten an item he/she was expected to bring to school. This is a great way to learn and nurtures a sense of responsibility and independence.

That's all Folks! I'll see you Tuesday!

Kind regards,

Ms. Holeva

Principal
