Principal's Message:
Good afternoon, Teddy families,
This week we head into our Quarter Finals. This is a time of great anticipation and, at times, anxiety for many of our students.
Teachers, support staff, and students have been in communication over the last days and weeks about what is expected of them and what work may need to be completed before Friday. This Friday is a Teacher Record Keeping Day, students will not have school, while teachers grade assessments.
Some ways to support your students at home are:
- Remind students of the importance of sleep, eating well, and exercise.
- Make a plan to schedule their work and study time.
- Coach them to speak with their teachers, if necessary.
- Help them avoid distractions.
- Give them words of encouragement.
- Stay positive. Often our students may be irritable due to their stress, stay optimistic, let them know you expect them to do their best, and that you love them no matter what.
Let's have an excellent week,
Principal Ledesma

Buenas tardes, familias Teddy,
Esta semana nos dirigimos a nuestros cuartos de final. Este es un momento de gran anticipación y, a veces, ansiedad para muchos de nuestros estudiantes.
Los maestros, el personal de apoyo y los estudiantes han estado en comunicación durante los últimos días y semanas sobre lo que se espera de ellos y qué trabajo puede necesitar completarse antes del viernes. Este viernes es un Día de Calificacion de Maestros, los estudiantes no tendrán escuela, mientras que los maestros califican las evaluaciones.
Algunas formas de apoyar a sus estudiantes en casa son:
- Recuerde a los estudiantes la importancia de dormir, comer bien y hacer ejercicio.
- Hagan un plan para programar su tiempo de trabajo y estudio.
- Dirigen que hablen con sus maestros, si es necesario.
- Ayúdelos a evitar distracciones.
- Delen palabras de aliento.
- Manténgase positivo. A menudo, nuestros estudiantes pueden estar irritables debido a su estrés - mantenhanse optimistas, haganlos saber que espera que hagan lo mejor que puedan y que los aman pase lo que pase.
Tengamos una excelente semana,
Director Ledesma

Instead of going to amazon.com, go to smile.amazon.com. Register and select Minneapolis Theodore Roosevelt High School Foundation as your charity. Each time you shop at smile.amazon the Foundation will receive a small percentage of your purchase.
By doing this you are helping give scholarships to Roosevelt students and grants to staff without it costing you a penny?
You just have to remember to go to smile.amazon.com instead of Amazon…..same merchandise, same prices, same service. Thank YOU!

20 hours of Service Per year is expected of every student, every year.
Check out these websites to come up with another idea.
- https://www.volunteermatch.org/search?l=Minneapolis%2C+MN%2C+USA
(You can search by word, so if you are looking for an "art" based volunteering opportunity, or a "children" based opportunity, "senior citizen", etc.
If your student is doing their hours OUTSIDE of the school, please have them send in a paper that is signed, dated and phone number listed for the organization or person that they helped.
