The Parent-Teacher-Student Association (PTSA) hopes everyone had a safe and healthy summer!
School begins Monday, August 17th and we are excited to welcome new and returning families to the 2020-2021 year at Roosevelt Middle School. We are in the process of updating this website for the new academic year. Feel free to browse around and come back often to learn about what the RMS PTSA does and offers. We will be in touch soon with exciting opportunities to get involved with various activities. Warmest regards, Your PTSA Executive Board  We wish a hearty congratulations and fond farewell to our beloved 8th grade class!
We celebrate your accomplishments and milestones and are proud of all you have done. You have grown much in three years and leave Roosevelt teachers, staff and classmates with many fond memories. You are well-prepared for your high school adventure and we look forward to hearing about your future successes! Wishing everyone a safe and healthy summer.  Thank you to Gwen Lee-Rios and all the auction volunteers for ensuring a smooth and successful online 2020 auction!
Thank you to all of the individuals and businesses who facilitated auction items. Thank you to all the individuals who bid on items and made a contribution. Through all your efforts, we raised more than $20,000 in support of vital ongoing school staffing, departments, student events and programs.  Roosevelt's Auction Fundraiser is up and running! Lots of amazing items to bid on. Hurry - the auction closes Sunday, May 17th at 9:30pm.
In order to participate in the online auction, you'll need to have or create an auction account in a few easy steps. Click HERE to browse items, start bidding and support critical school staffing and programs. Every day is a day to thank a teacher, but recognition of what our instruction team does for our children is especially meaningful during Teacher Appreciation Week. Here are some pictures from this week's deliveries of Boudin goodie boxes to our amazing teachers by parent/caregiver volunteers (whom we also thank). Enjoy!!  The 60-minute program that examines teens’ emotional challenges in our digital age, “Screenagers: The Next Chapter”, is available for you to watch at your convenience (in English with Chinese subtitles).
