School Description:
Roosevelt believes that failure is not an option. As a team, staff members evaluate all students to help them be successful. With an award-winning staff, the school offers classes that are challenging and creative. The school also provides a supportive and personal learning atmosphere with support services to help students succeed, whatever their previous academic experiences.
In 2006, Roosevelt adopted a revolutionary breakfast program that takes all students and staff from the school to the Boys & Girls Club to share breakfast and exercise in a small group setting.
Families:
Parents are invited to participate in the district through the Parent Community Advisory Council.
Students at Roosevelt learn math with the aid of teachers and computers, helping them prepare for the Wyoming PAWS test and for life after high school. Reading is integrated in all classes, with an additional basic literacy class available for students who are struggling. Writing is integrated in classes as well as an analysis of PAWS scores.
Roosevelt students also study physical science, biology, environmental science and environmental chemistry, as well U.S. history, world history and modern American studies.
Students may take advantage of career development courses, as well as BOCES classes through Casper College. Students also may choose electives in Next Generation Dale Carnegie, career development, computer applications, nutrition and child development, life management, intro to art, drawing and painting, and sculpture and printmaking.
Each day, our students and staff also travel to the Boys and Girls Club to attend a breakfast and mentoring block. Students are divided into 14 small groups, and the groups eat together, engage in appropriate table conversation and manners, and exercise together each day. The teachers paired with each group become the students’ mentors and assist them where and when necessary.
Students who want to take a course not offered at Roosevelt may do so at Kelly Walsh, Natrona County, or Midwest high schools.
Our students may participate in student council, Meals on Wheels, and journalism.
Students who wish to participate in sports may do so at Kelly Walsh, Natrona County, or Midwest high schools.
Roosevelt is home to a Behavior and Social Skills program for special education students who need behavior support, and to a stabilization lab, a self-contained special education program that provides intermediary support for students in crisis. Participants in both probrams are placed through the IEP process.
A PAWS prep course is available for juniors to practice doing math on computers, review reading concepts, and study writing. Roosevelt also encourages all eligible students to take advantage of ACE classes, which are courses at Casper College that offer high school and college credit simultaneously. These classes are free to high school students.
A sixth block of the day is available for students who choose to take it.
We have a revolutionary breakfast and mentoring program at Roosevelt. During the second block of the day, all of our students and staff go to the Boys and Girls Club together, where students are placed in small groups with a mentor teacher. These groups eat, talk, and exercise together daily as part of the Personal and Social Responsibility Social Choices (PSR) course.
Roosevelt students also have access to a guidance counselor, two social workers, a school psychologist, and a counselor from Central Wyoming Counseling Center.
