Helpful Summer Links

It's hard to believe, but the 2021-22 school year will be here soon!

The Roosevelt office is currently closed for summer vacation. Our office will reopen on Wednesday, August 11 for regular hours (8 am - 4 pm).

We look forward to seeing you on our first day of school, Wednesday, August 25 (8:45 am - noon early release). Also, please mark your calendar for our Roosevelt Open House on Tuesday, August 25 (6-7 pm) to meet your teacher.

Until then, here are some helpful summer links:
- Kindergarten registration and Kinder Academy (August 16-18) While our office is closed, you can pick up and turn in registration packets at YSD's Student and Family Center (105 N. 4th Ave; 573-7024).
- Our plan to return to full-time, in-person learning for 2021-22 school year announced by Superintendent Greene in June (view in English or Spanish). Gov. Inslee and the Washington State Department of Health announced that the state will continue to require all students and staff to wear face coverings, regardless of vaccination status, in Washington K-12 schools this fall.
- Free summer meal program
- After-school care options (Beyond the Bell through Yakima Parks and Recreation and On the Corner at Central Lutheran Church)

Roosevelt Math Team Competes in Virtual Competition

Posted by Amae Merrill on 5/7/2021

On Friday April 23 & Saturday April 24, Roosevelt Math Team competed in a virtual Math Olympiad competition held by the Washington State Mathematics Council & Mangahigh. This is Roosevelt's 5th year of having a math team. The Roosevelt Math Team was thrilled to compete this year, even though it was different, since last year was cancelled.

Roosevelt sent 26 students (8 teams) of 3rd-5th graders and their coach, Mrs. Merrill (3rd grade teacher) to the competition. Students also received a swag bag full of goodies to keep them energized through the competition.

Roosevelt math team spent 2,638 minutes on math for the weekend! Nice job Roosevelt Bears!

Roosevelt Bears share fun morning greetings with their teachers

Posted by Laura Harper on 3/18/2021 8:30:00 PM

Even in a pandemic, Roosevelt Bears share fun morning greetings with their teachers!

Each morning, when Mrs. Yvonne Ullas greets her 2nd-graders at the door, her students choose which greeting they want to share—all modified for physical distancing. Students can share an air high five, a peace sign, a dance, an air hug, or a simple friendly wave on their way into her classroom. Students choose their greetings from a poster illustrated with bitmojis shared by another YSD colleague.

Mrs. Ullas and our Roosevelt staff believe that physical distance doesn't have to mean social distance, and they've worked hard all year to build community, whether on-line or in person. We're so happy to have our Bears back together in hybrid learning!
