Virtual Open House Launch

Here’s a great opportunity to get to know the faculty and staff of Roosevelt High School by visiting our  Virtual Open House. We would appreciate it if you could complete a brief Google Form to give us data on the number of people who “visited” our open house.  Please  feel free to provide us with any feedback you may have.

Federal Impact Aid Survey

Federal Survey cards will be distributed to your child on September 8. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey. Federal Impact Aid helps offset costs for school materials and resources, substitute teachers, student transportation, and other services at schools statewide. All students and schools benefit from Impact Aid. Students can drop off completed survey cards at the Main Office.

Social Emotional Learning: Panorama Survey

It is our goal at Roosevelt High School to ensure that every student is safe and supported as they transition back to school. We value the input of our students as they are important partners in the work to improve the overall school experience and support their needs. 

In order to learn more about student experiences, we will be asking for your child’s feedback via an online Panorama survey at three points this school year: fall, winter, and spring. The survey shouldn’t take more than 20-30 minutes to complete. The first survey will be done during the week of September 6-9.

We are asking that all of our students participate in the surveys, as their feedback will provide invaluable insights into their experiences and how to improve and adapt our school to their needs. The survey content will ask students to self reflect on their own social emotional learning skills, like self-management and self-efficacy. Please notify us if you would like your child to opt out of taking the surveys by sending an email with your student's name and grade to our Panorama Survey Coordinator,  [email protected]

Student Drop off and Pick-up

For the safety of our students, please drop off and pick up your student on Nehoa Street. Please follow all traffic safety rules when dropping off your child.  There have been many near misses for accidents on both Mott-Smith and Nehoa Street. Please drive with patience and Aloha!

PSAT

We will be offering the PSAT on campus on Saturday, October 15, 2022 for students in grades 10 and 11. It’s a good opportunity to practice for the SAT or try for the National Merit Scholarship.

New Rough Rider Gymnasium

A big “Mahalo!” to RHS alumnus, Senator Brian Taniguchi, for helping to secure funding for our brand new gymnasium. Construction is projected to begin in Summer of 2023 with a completion date of June 2025. The new gymnasium will seat 1,500 people and include a weight room, multi-purpose classroom, and a Judo/Wrestling room on the second floor. We will also gain 49 parking stalls on our campus from the new construction.

Class of 2023 Graduation

We are optimistic that we will be able to have an in-person graduation ceremony like we did for the Class of 2022. Currently, we are awaiting confirmation from UH Manoa to have our ceremony at the Stan Sheriff Center. Our preferred dates we proposed are: 1) Friday, May 19, 2023, 2) Saturday, May 20, 2023 and 3) Thursday, May 18, 2023. We will share more information as it becomes available.

Also, a mandatory Parent/Guardian Graduation Meeting will be held to share information about the ceremony and requirements. Our Graduation Coordinator, Ms. Doreen Dudoit, will be sharing more information in the coming weeks.
