Welcome Back Class of 2021!As we begin SY20-21, I want to take this opportunity to welcome everyone back to TheodoreRoosevelt High School. The end of SY19-20 certainly threw a curveball and we all had to adaptquickly. To spite the situation and having to go back virtually, I want to emphasize we are goingto get through this together! Over your high school years, you always heard adults say “This ispreparing you for the next phase of your life” This is hands on learning and we are excited to walkyou through it. Figuring out life’s obstacles, being adaptable, self-motivated, accountable for youractions, and following through are all things you had to do going into to COVID and what youwill need to continue to do as we push through virtually your senior year. Your teachers willcontinue to challenge you academically and push your thinking. Get ready and LEVEL UP!
