Our District's Mission
RCSD creates a safe and supportive, inspirational and rigorous, joyful and inclusive environment for all learners
Our Project Based Learning (PBL) Program
Roosevelt students are challenged and engaged in an award-winning Project Based Learning curriculum that helps them develop skills for living in a knowledge-based, highly technological society. Our supportive community of teachers, staff, and parents ensures that students are successful in all aspects of their learning. Roosevelt School’s growing accomplishments are evident in the students' comprehension and understanding of topics, the innovative projects that students lead and produce each year, and its award-winning reading program and curriculum.
