SERVING KINDERGARTEN THROUGH SIXTH GRADE
Roosevelt Elementary School provides a quality, caring environment for
its entire student population through a strong academic reading program
called Success For All™. The all-day kindergarten program emphasizes
speaking and pre-reading skills. In grades 1-3, students gather in
multi-age groups for 90 minutes of reading each day. In grades 4-6, students use Readers' Workshop. At all levels,
students read books for 20 minutes each evening as homework. Teachers
blend language, writing, art and math into daily classroom  | | Super Student Linus designed by ELL Teacher, Sheryl Cain |
activities.
Family involvement and mandatory attendance are key to the success of
each student. The school offers programs in science, music, computers,
library and physical education that build on students' classroom
skills. Roosevelt is part of the West Side Schools of Excellence with
other Saint Paul schools on the city's West Side.
