District Updates

An Update from the Superintendent

Dear Roosevelt Community,

As we quickly approach the start of a new school year, I hope this message finds you and your family well. We all persevered through many tough challenges over the last year and a half, but together we have remained resilient and steadfast in our mission to educate and keep our students safe.

As a district, we have remained committed to prioritizing the health and wellness of our staff, students and families. Last year, we provided resources and mitigation protocols to ensure the safety of our Roosevelt community. We will continue to follow the updated CDC guidelines as closely as possible when the new school year begins on Monday, Aug. 2.

Best regards,
Quintin Boyce, Ed.D.
Superintendent

One Community Initiative vaccine opportunity

We partnered with Equality Health, the Herozona Foundation and other community organizations, to offer Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines to our South Phoenix families. Anyone 12 and older was able to receive the shot between 3 and 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 13 in the C.O Greenfield gym. Families were also able to pick up a food box. More than 700 students and families participated in the event. Through this partnership, we are planning several more vaccination events over the summer at both Julian and Valley View schools. More information is available in English and Spanish for the community.

Title IX

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended protects individuals from discrimination based on sex in any educational program or activity operated by recipients of federal financial assistance. As required by Title IX, Roosevelt School District No. 66 does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the education programs or activities that we operate, including in admission and employment. Inquiries concerning the application of Title IX may be referred to the Title IX Coordinator or to the U.S. Department of Education, Assistant Secretary, or both.
