Des Moines Public Schools is rolling out an exciting, new online registration process! It will be available starting July 1 through August 12. Computer make you nervous? Don’t stress! DMPS has created a video to walk families through this new, convenient process on the District website!

The Polk County Bar Association gives students a chance to get creative with the law as part of the annual Law Day celebration. Chief among the activities is the visual arts, music, essay and poetry competition for students in grades 6 through 12 in Polk County. Roosevelt students took 1st and 3rd place in the visual arts category.

Roosevelt senior Nora Trampe won the Congressional Art Competition in the 3rd Congressional District of Iowa. The Congressional Art Competition, “An Artistic Discovery,” is open to high school students nationwide.

Summer Registration! The DMPS is developing a new registration process. It is still in the formation stages and will roll out sometime in July. We have been informed that there will be no registration for the 2015-16 school year until later in July. As DMPS works the entire process to completion, we will be molding Roosevelt registration to fit the new model. When the new procedure is complete, we will share with our families!

Last Friday the clock was turned back fifty years at Roosevelt High School. A pep assembly in the school auditorium and a halftime ceremony in the gym were staged to honor the boys’ basketball team that won a state championship for the Roughriders in 1965.
