Parent Hours

Parent Hours

Research shows that when parents actively participate at their child's school, that their child performs better. Roosevelt parents are actively involved in the education of their children.

We encourage parents to volunteer a minimum of 40 hours per year, about 4 hours per month.There are many ways to participate and listed below are some ideas of how parents can be involved

Our wonderful parents attend PTA, ELAC, Site Council, and Four Points Meetings. They actively support fundraising events such as the carnival and gift wrap sales. Weekly parents copy materials for the Thursday folders.
