Welcome New Families!
5 Important Things to Make a Smooth
Transition to Roosevelt School
1. Bookmark the PTO website: www.rooseveltpto.org and PTO Revtrak: www.theoroosevelt.revtrak.net (site
for signing up for PTO events/committees etc.) for important information and updates.
2. Join PTO! Roosevelt's PTO is organized for the purpose of supporting the education of the children at
Roosevelt School by fostering relationships among the school, parents and teachers. Your membership
dollars help assistance to teachers in classroom settings, holds fund-raisers for supplemental educational
materials and experiences, supports school and family social interaction, and provides a non-biased
forum for sharing information on issues that impact our children. Dues are just $20 per family, per year.
You can join and pay online by clicking on the Revtrak link on the side of the Roosevelt PTO website
Last year, the PTO spent $123 on every child at Roosevelt. Our goal is to complement the school
curriculum with additional opportunities for parents, teachers and students to learn, socialize,
communicate and grow. It is our belief that the team effort of a parent teacher organization offers the
best possible learning environment for our children.
