Welcome Back Class of <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong>!<br />
As we begin <strong>SY19</strong>-<strong>20</strong>, I want to take this opportunity to welcome everyone back to another<br />
fantastic year at Theodore Roosevelt High School. I am excited to see how your teachers will<br />
challenge you academically and expose you to experiences many only dreams. Class of <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong> there<br />
are endless opportunities in your reach “With A Vision” This is your year of closing one chapter<br />
and starting another. In the words of Kalpana Chawla “The path from dreams to success does exist.<br />
May you have the vision to find it, the courage to get on to it, and the perseverance to follow it.”<br />
I am equally excited to work alongside Ms. S. Jackson our 11 th /12 th Grade Counselor, and the Class<br />
of <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong> Sponsors; Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cook, Mr. Juarez, Mrs. Rodriguez and Mrs. Woodard. <strong>Senior</strong>s<br />
this is your last year in high school so be a part of as many activities, fundraisers, and events as<br />
possible to make your last year in high school a memorable one. <strong>Senior</strong>s, please sign up for<br />
Remind. Text @482bch to 81010. This form of communication will give you “need to know”<br />
updates for all senior-related activities, including but not limited to; <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong> Prom, and Graduation.<br />
Roosevelt High School staff is eager to help you move closer to your vision as you choose your<br />
pathway. Be sure to schedule your meeting with Ms. S. Jackson (11 th /12 th Grade Counselor), Mrs.<br />
Anderson (Pathways Coordinator), Mrs. Lincoln (College and Career Coordinator) and Mr. Hailu<br />
(DCCAPP) to get information about your graduation status, credit recovery, and College/Career<br />
path.<br />
Class of <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong> Parents, I hope that you will join me and the Roosevelt Team in setting the bar high<br />
from the first day of school until graduation day. I encourage all parents to be involved, ask<br />
questions, meet with your team, and be that listening ear for your child throughout the school year.<br />
The Class of <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong> Parent Meeting kickoff will be held on September 26, <strong>20</strong>19, at 5:00 PM.<br />
Challenge your child to rise to the occasion to their destiny! With your support and communication,<br />
this can and will be achieved. This <strong>Senior</strong> handbook will assist you and your child to organize<br />
their plans for their future.<br />
Again, welcome and I look forward to you representing Roosevelt in the best way a Rough Rider<br />
can “Never Given, Always Earned!”<br />
Best,<br />
Ms. Tawana Alston<br />
