To sign up please, stop by counseling to get your name on the list. Numbers are limited and first come, first serve basis. Talk to your school counselor if you have questions.



Roosevelt students attended the Let's Talk About Work Conference. They learned about searching for jobs, interviewing, and much more. Great experience!




Mark your calendars! Roosevelt Drama presents: Our Place. It's a one-hour performance about how one location -- a dock -- can bring different meaning and memories for so many different people. This bittersweet drama will perform on December 1-3 at 7pm and December 3 at 2pm in the Roosevelt High School auditorium. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased a half hour prior to the production.


American Education Week is November 14-18, 2022. Seniors can still apply to colleges in South Dakota for free through November 30. Thank you to Mr. Kidd's Graphics class for making the banner! #AmeicanEducationWeek

Roosevelt Rough Rider Activity Newsletter for November can be viewed here: https://www.smore.com/f31k4-roosevelt-rough-riders

And with a blink of an eye, we are already a quarter way through the 2022-2023 school year! The second quarter is here, and it’s a busy one! While this time of year tends to get chaotic, it’s important to remember how crucial student attendance is. Chronic absenteeism is a serious problem in South Dakota - a problem SFSD is committed to improving. Missing just two days a month can hurt a student’s grades and increase their chance of dropping out. Make sure your student is on the path to a bright future – and that starts in the classroom!


Roosevelt Jobs for America's Graduates students will be walking in honor of our Hometown Heroes in the Parade of Lights on November 25th! Students would invite any first responder, veteran, or medical personnel and their families to join us in the parade. Please RSVP at tinyurl.com/sfheroes to sign up.


First semester midterms are on Thursday, October 27. This marks halfway through the 1st semester.


Reminder: Parent/Teacher Conferences are Monday and Tuesday evenings.
