Mission Statement:
Responsible Choices • Modeling Respect • Success for All Program Description:
Within an odd/even day schedule, Roosevelt balances scholastic excellence with a choice of electives and exploration. On Oregon state assessment tests, students usually score at the top of all 4J middle schools. Our WEB (Where Everybody Belongs) program trains 8th-grade leaders to orient all students new to Roosevelt. The heart of our school is the library. Our full-time media specialist manages collections in English and French. Our comprehensive counseling and special education services offer a wide range of support to all students.
School Highlights:
- The HOUSE/Advisor system is a critical component of the RMS program. Each teacher advises approximately 20 6th, 7th and 8th-grade students for their three-year career at Roosevelt.
- Student choice is the hallmark of Roosevelt. Students, parents and advisors collaborate to create a comprehensive schedule to ensure each student’s success.
- Fine and applied arts are a must at Roosevelt. We offer art, drama, band, orchestra and choir in all grades; three Shakespeare classes culminate in our annual Bard Fest; and the spring musical includes over 130 students.
- Roosevelt offers the middle-level French immersion program. Fifth graders transition to us from Charlemagne at Fox Hollow and go on to South Eugene High School within the International High School (IHS) program.
- Sixth graders are frequently blended in their core classes and are welcomed through the WEB program. Curriculum features the Cultural Connections Block, highlighted by the Immigration Simulation and Cultural Festival.
School Improvement Goals:
- Close our achievement gap by improving literacy levels to meet or exceed Oregon state assessment benchmarks in reading, science, writing and math
